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

If, like me, the stunning animation in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse left you in awe and questioning your life choices while BUCK continues to hit home runs with projects like Love, Death + Robots and Secret Level, you'll be thrilled to learn that the award-winning animation and design studio 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 serves as an interactive companion piece to the upcoming film, blending gameplay with cinematic storytelling.

This isn't BUCK's first dive into the gaming world; 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 boasting names like Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK is poised to bring its renowned quality to mobile gaming through BUCK Games.

Given their impressive portfolio, it's reasonable to expect that future releases from BUCK Games will maintain, if not exceed, the high standards they've set in mobile gaming.

"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."
