Our take
For a long time, the gaming industry was dominated by a small number of studios. In recent years, however, the prevalence of small, independent studios has risen. Second Dinner Studios is one of a crop of new games studios looking to disrupt this ever-growing market.
Second Dinner was founded by a team of former directors, producers and artists from Blizzard Entertainment, one of the biggest names in gaming. This combined expertise, which covers every aspect of the game creation process, has helped the company to gain a solid foothold in the market. In 2022, Second Dinner launched its first game, Marvel SNAP, the end product of a high value partnership with entertainment giant Disney.
The gaming market is one of the fastest growing industries in the world, and Second Dinner's partnership with Marvel, the world's most recognisable franchise, has helped set it apart from the crowd. However, the company has faced pushback over its in-game monetization features. Nonetheless, Second Dinner was quick to remedy these features, displaying impressive agility.
