Marvel Snap's PVP Battle Mode Finally Goes Live Tomorrow
It seems you'll finally be able to shout "1v1 me, bro" in developer Second Dinner's superhero-themed mobile card game, Marvel Snap.
The popular licensed collectible card game, which won Best Mobile Game at the Game Awards, will finally be getting one of its most requested features since launching in October of last year: the ability to challenge your friends directly. The so-called Battle Mode will be available tomorrow.

Up until now, players have been at the mercy of Marvel Snap's one and only playlist, a competitive matchmade mode that pits you against a random opponent in your skill bracket. In a recent blog post Second Dinner announced that Battle Mode would be a tournament-style mode where players play multiple games against one another until a clear winner emerges.
"Battle Mode pits two opponents against each other through multiple rounds. Each player starts with 10 health," the post said. "Instead of Cubes, what’s at stake is the amount of damage the winner will deal to the loser. If you can deplete your opponent’s health to zero, you win!"
It's still unclear if Battle Mode will come alongside a friends list or some way to keep track of people in your network to invite others to your game, something that doesn't exist in Marvel Snap's current form.
IGN reviewed Marvel Snap a few short months ago and liked it quite a bit. Players are having fun with it too, with one of them even hitting the max collection level in what Second Dinner called a "world first."
