BUCK Launches Game Dev Branch with The Electric State: Kid Cosmo

If, like me, the stunning animation from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse left you in awe and wondering about your own life choices while BUCK continues to deliver hit after hit (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 game development branch, BUCK Games, coinciding with the release of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo. This game serves as an interactive extension of the film, offering players a unique experience tied to the larger narrative.

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 high-quality gaming experiences to mobile platforms.

Given their impressive track record, it's reasonable to expect that future releases from BUCK Games will maintain, if not exceed, the high standards set by their previous work.

“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.”
