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 made you wonder about your own life choices while BUCK continues to deliver masterpiece after masterpiece (think Love, Death + Robots and Secret Level), you'll be thrilled to learn that this award-winning animation and design studio is now venturing into game development.

BUCK has officially launched its new gaming branch, BUCK Games, alongside the debut of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo. This innovative project is a game within a game, intricately connected to the film of the same name.

This isn't BUCK's first dive into the gaming world; they previously released the colorful roguelite puzzler, Let’s! Revolution!. With over two decades of experience in animation and design, and a client list that includes giants like Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK is well-positioned to bring high-quality experiences to mobile gaming.

Given their impressive track record, it's safe to anticipate 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.”
