Marvel Snap Conquest, a new battle mode introduced in July 2023, offers players a challenging experience as they progress through increasingly difficult runs. To advance, players must defeat opponents at each stage, earning medals that secure their spot in the next Conquest. Second Dinner, the independent game developers behind Marvel Snap, have plans to introduce additional game modes in the future.
In an interview with ONE Esports, Ben Brode, founder and Chief Development Officer of Second Dinner, discussed the impact of new modes on player experience. Unlike team-based MOBA or FPS games, Marvel Snap does not require teammates or lengthy matches, so the developers are not concerned about splitting the player population. They strategically scheduled Infinite Conquest for the last week of each season, providing a competitive layer for top players.
Brode describes Marvel Snap Conquest as an “ultra competitive mode” that caters to a specific subset of players. While it may not appeal to everyone, it is an essential component of the game. The team always intended for Conquest Mode to be part of Marvel Snap, regardless of community response or play rate.
Conquest Mode is here to stay, and Second Dinner is already looking ahead to adding new modes. The developers are open to experimentation and are not afraid to permanently incorporate modes that prove to be fun and engaging. They value community feedback and actively seek input through platforms like Discord and social media.
Second Dinner’s company culture embraces experimentation, trying new ideas and discarding them if they don’t work. One aspect they extensively experimented with in Marvel Snap is how cards are distributed to players. This approach will continue as they explore different game modes and ways to play Marvel Snap.
Community sentiment and feedback are crucial to Second Dinner’s decision-making process. They publish their roadmap and work openly with the community to gather feedback. Internal team feedback and metrics also inform their future decisions.
Overall, the future of Marvel Snap includes the continued presence of Conquest Mode and the introduction of new game modes. Second Dinner is committed to providing engaging experiences for players and will incorporate feedback and experimentation to shape the game’s evolution.
