BUCK Expands Animation Studio, Launches Game Dev Branch with The Electric State: Kid Cosmo

If you were as blown away by the animation in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse as I was, and found yourself wondering what you've been doing with your life while studios like BUCK consistently deliver masterpieces (think Love, Death + Robots and Secret Level), you'll be thrilled to learn that this award-winning animation and design company is now venturing into game development.

BUCK has officially launched its new game development branch, BUCK Games, coinciding with the release of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo. This game is intricately tied to the upcoming film, offering players a unique interactive experience within the broader narrative universe.

This isn't BUCK's first step into gaming, though. They previously released Let’s! Revolution!, a colorful roguelite puzzle game. With over two decades of experience in animation and design, and a client list that includes Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK is well-positioned to bring the same high-quality standards to their mobile game offerings.

Given their impressive portfolio, it's reasonable to expect that future releases from BUCK Games will maintain, if not exceed, the quality we've come to expect from them.

“Developing a game connected to a larger world was a new challenge, and demanded adaptability and ingenuity from our team,” says Michael Highland, Creative Director of BUCK Games. “We set out with an ambitious, unconventional vision, and our partners pushed us to make it the best version possible.”
