Marvel Snap Gets Surprise Crossover With Underrated 2022 Game

Marvel Snap announces a surprising collaboration with one underrated game from 2022 that will introduce new content in the future.

Now, a Marvel Snap player called ZellZoy unveiled a clever new idea for a card: He Who Remains. The card has a cost of 5 and 0 Power, but it comes with a unique ability. If the decks of both players have a copy of the same card, they will both be destroyed when He Who Remains is used. The character first appeared as Nathaniel Richards in the first season of Loki, and is played by the same actor as Kang the Conqueror, who debuted during Ant-Man: Quantumania. In the canon of the MCU, He Who Remains is an alternative version of the popular villain Kang, who is set to play an important role in the upcoming movies.

ZellZoy’s idea was pretty well-received by the community. However, some gamers had a few doubts about its efficiency, considering that the player may also lose cards when using its effect. Obviously, there are many ways to play Marvel Snap, so the card may fit some strategies better, while not being as useful for others.

While Marvel Snap is quite a popular game, its future recently became uncertain. Until now, Marvel Snap was published by Nuverse, a branch of ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company. However, it seems that Nuverse is restructuring its gaming business, and may leave the sector entirely. This could mean that the developer Second Dinner would need to find another publisher for the game. Hopefully, it won’t be a very hard task, considering how popular Marvel Snap is.
