Marvel Snap dev Second Dinner lands $100m investment

The developer of Marvel Snap, Second Dinner, has secured an investment of $100 million.

The company's Series B funding round was led by Griffin Gaming Partners and will allow the studio to continue making games. Marvel Snap launched in October 2022 for both PC and mobile devices; the title came out of Early Access on Steam in August 2023.

To date, the title has been downloaded over 22 million times and boasts over $200 million in revenue. Second Dinner was founded in 2018 by vets of Blizzard's Hearthstone team. 

“This investment not only boosts our capacity and gives us capital to jump on any great opportunities that might come our way, but most importantly, solidifies our commitment to making the most fun games ever...," Second Dinner CEO and co-founder Hamilton Chu said. "It also buys a lot of boba. So that’s a plus.”

Griffin Gaming Partners co-founder and MD Nick Tuosto added: “Second Dinner has assembled one of the strongest creative teams that we have ever come across. Marvel Snap adds to the management team’s incredible track record of creating hit titles, who previously led the creation of Hearthstone. We are thrilled to partner with Second Dinner to grow Marvel Snap P and look forward to new titles developed by this ridiculously talented team.”
