BUCK Expands Animation Studio, Launches Game Dev Branch and 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're in for a treat. The award-winning animation and design company behind these projects has just announced the launch of its new game development branch, BUCK Games.

This exciting development coincides with the launch of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, a game that intertwines with the upcoming film. BUCK's venture into gaming isn't new, though; they previously released the visually stunning roguelite puzzler, Let’s! Revolution!. With over two decades of experience in animation and design, and a client list that includes Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK is poised to bring the same, if not superior, quality to their mobile game releases under the BUCK Games banner.

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