The authors of the Marvel Snap received $100 million in investments
The Second Dinner studio, which developed the Marvel Snap collectible card game, has announced a deal with investors from Griffin Gaming Partners. The venture capital firm led its $100 million Series B funding round.
Now Griffin Gaming Partners, along with NetEase, which previously invested in Second Dinner, is a minority investor in the studio. The studio itself still retains its independence.
Second Dinner plans to spend the money received on further support for Marvel Snap, the development of new games, including the original IP, and the hiring of staff. The studio is already working on several new projects. According to Ben Brode, co-founder of Second Dinner, the games will be "super-super fun," but he is not ready to share other details yet.
Recall that in November there were concerns about the future of Marvel Snap. They appeared after sources told Reuters about the plans of the Chinese corporation ByteDance to restructure its gaming division and close Nuverse— the publisher of Marvel Snap. However, soon Second Dinner assured that the game was not in danger and it would continue to develop regardless of the situation in Nuverse.
According to Second Dinner, to date, Marvel Snap has earned more than $200 million and collected over 22 million downloads. The game was released in October 2022 on mobile platforms and PC.
