Marvel Snap Balance Patch Coming: No Hotfix Updates for Now

With the current meta deemed stale and solved, players are looking forward to the major monthly patch in March to solve some issues regarding card acquisition, ranked ladder, and some card balance updates. Developers at Second Dinner has been updating the community on the official Discord regarding these matters.

On February 8, we saw a nerf hotfix to Zabu and Silver Surfer, the first of its kind to not require a full game update. Players may have believed this to be a more frequent, hands on approach to help with the meta, but unfortunately there had been some issues, so we may have to go through a new patch, and the timing of it is currently unknown. We will update you when as we find out more.

We have balance updates in the works. We ran into some issues with our ability to OTA them the past few weeks.

This happens every meta though. Some folks love it and some hate it. We have to find the right cadence to drop balance updates that isn’t too frequent for most players but keeps the more engaged players on their toes

With the new season Marvel Snap has started to make updates to the ranked ladder (50 Cubes gained when going up a tier) and reduced duration and frequency of Featured and Hot Locations. More updates have been promising in the next week or two regarding the state of ranked and matchmaking, with more in the works:

we are closing in on a plan and we’ll share more in the blog post thats coming up in the next week or two

I’m super pumped about a lot of the things we are doing right now. Between ranked mode changes, token and token shop changes, a new competitive mode, and our full PC release there is a ton to get hype over.
