Marvel Snap Update Brings Back Deadpool’s Diner, Patch Notes Released

The controversial limited time mode is returning, and there have been a bunch of bug fixes, as well. 

A new Marvel Snap update should now be live for users on iOS, Android, and PC. This update largely focuses on bug fixes and some quality of life updates, as well as some changed text on existing cards. However, there are some other highlights, including the return of Deadpool’s Diner. The limited time mode will be making a comeback on November 21st, probably to celebrate this month’s release of Deadpool and Wolverine on Disney+. This time around, players will have the opportunity to obtain a King Eitri card, as well as a new variant of Jane Foster. The latter will feature the art of Andrea Guardino.

Deadpool’s Diner was somewhat controversial when it debuted in Marvel Snap earlier this year. A lot of users on the Marvel Snap subreddit aired their frustrations at the time, with some going so far as to call it “pay to win.” It remains to be seen whether the mode will prove as frustrating this time around, but hopefully the game’s developers have listened to this feedback and made some improvements. Full patch notes from the game’s official website can be found below.

CARD AND LOCATION TEXT UPDATES

The final stage of our development process includes reviewing and improving card and location text before we lock the season. Usually, we do that a full month ahead of time, meaning that even an older version of the game won’t have outdated text for upcoming cards. However, for the Nine Realms season that handoff wasn’t implemented to our most recent patchโ€“only this new one. For that reason, you may see a few instances of text changes, namely on the following cards and locations.

To be clear: These updates are text only. No element of the function is changing. 

  • Surtur
  • [Old]3/5 – After you play a card with 10+ Power, this gains +3 Power.
  • [New]3/5 – After you play a card with 10 or more Power, this gains +3 Power.
  • Malekith
  • [Old]4/6 – On Reveal: Add a 1, 2, or 3-Cost card from your deck here. It reveals at the end of the game.
  • [New]4/6 – On Reveal: Add a 1, 2, or 3-Cost card from your deck here, but don’t reveal it until the game ends.
  • Valhalla
  • [Old]After turn 4, repeat the On Reveal abilities of cards here.
  • [New]After turn 4, cards here repeat their On Reveal abilities.
