Marvel Snap, a popular collectible card game, has faced criticism regarding its card acquisition system. Players have expressed frustration with the slow rate of acquiring new cards, the randomness of Spotlight Caches, and the difficulty in keeping up with the meta. Developer Second Dinner has acknowledged these concerns and outlined plans to address them throughout 2025.
The first improvements will arrive with the January patch. This update will double the drop rate of Series 3 cards in Collector’s Reserves from 2 out of every 9 to 4 out of every 9. Additionally, the token payout from duplicate cards in Spotlight Caches will be increased from 1,000 to 2,000 tokens. A significant “series drop,” making certain cards cheaper to acquire, is also scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
These initial changes are just the beginning. Second Dinner recognizes that overhauling core aspects of the game takes time and has committed to further improvements beyond the January patch and Q1 series drop. While these more substantial changes are in development, the developer acknowledges that it may take a few months before the card acquisition system feels completely revitalized.
Second Dinner’s commitment to addressing player feedback and improving the card acquisition system is a positive sign for the future of Marvel Snap. The upcoming changes aim to provide players with more agency in obtaining new cards and reduce the frustration associated with the current system. While the complete overhaul may take some time, the initial steps outlined by the developer indicate a dedication to enhancing the player experience.
Second Dinner has promised more information on the upcoming changes in the near future. In the meantime, players can look forward to the January patch and the first-quarter series drop as initial steps towards a more satisfying card acquisition experience in Marvel Snap.
Marvel Snap is available on PC, iOS, and Android.
