Marvel Snap is one of those mobile card games that feels like it has been live for years, not months. Second Dinner is leaning into that with a public roadmap that splits the next round of features into "coming soon," "in development" and "in concept." It is a generous list, and a useful one if you are planning your collection around it.
What happened:
- "Coming soon" includes friend battles, deck renaming, artist credit and more language support.
- "In development" lists a PC UI overhaul, Smart Deck feature, unranked mode and new competitive modes.
- "In concept" covers social features like guilds and leaderboards, emotes, mythic versions and booster magnets.
- Infinity Split Mode is on the list but marked private for now.
- The roadmap reflects Second Dinner's typical communication style for live-service games.
Coming soon
The headline here is friend battles. That has been a steady request since day-one and it is the obvious next step for a game that has lived almost entirely on ladder play. Renaming decks is a small quality-of-life win, but the players who care about it will care a lot. Artist credit on cards is a quiet flex in the right direction. More language support is the boring-but-essential upgrade.
In development
This is the meaty tier. A new PC UI is overdue if Second Dinner wants Snap to feel like a first-class citizen on desktop. Smart Deck is the most interesting tool on the list: an assistant that helps you fill a deck, which is the kind of feature that lowers the entry barrier for new players. Unranked mode is a clean answer for players who want to clear missions without ladder anxiety. New competitive modes are teased without details, which is fine.
In concept
This is the furthest-out tier, so take it as wishlist. Guilds and leaderboards make sense for retention. Emotes and emojis are obvious collectibles for the cosmetics economy. Mythic versions of cards are likely a monetization play; that is normal for live-service card games. Booster magnets, which let you target specific Booster types, are a thoughtful addition for players who want to chase a specific card.
Our analysis
The roadmap is doing three useful things at once. One, it sets expectations: "in concept" features are not promised, they are floated. Two, it gives collectors a horizon so they can plan resource spend. Three, it tells competitive players that Second Dinner is not done tuning the ranked experience.
The trade-off is hype management. Any list this long will trigger "when though" questions for every item, and Second Dinner will have to weather the gap between announcement and delivery. That is a normal live-service tax.
Who should care
| Player type | Feature to watch |
|---|---|
| Social players | Friend battles |
| New players | Smart Deck, language support |
| Mission grinders | Unranked mode |
| Collectors | Booster magnets, mythic variants |
| Desktop players | PC UI overhaul |
| Competitive players | New competitive modes |
What this means for you
Say you main a single deck and you are sitting on a stack of Boosters with no target. Hold them. If Booster magnets land, you can spend those Boosters with intent. If you are ladder-tired, the unranked mode is your queue to wait for.
What to watch next
Watch for the friend battles rollout and the PC UI reveal. Bottom line: Second Dinner is playing the live-service game well, and the roadmap gives collectors and competitive players both something to plan around.

- Smart Deck and a PC UI overhaul are in active development.
- Mythic variants are likely a future monetization lever.
