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

If, like me, the stunning animation of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse left you in awe and wondering about your own life choices while BUCK continues to produce masterpiece after masterpiece (think Love, Death + Robots and Secret Level), you'll be thrilled to learn that the award-winning animation and design company is now venturing into the gaming world.

BUCK has officially announced its new gaming branch, BUCK Games, which coincides with the launch of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo. This game not only serves as an engaging standalone experience but also ties in with the film, enhancing the overall narrative.

This isn't BUCK's first venture into gaming, though. They previously released the colorful roguelite puzzler Let's! Revolution!, showcasing their ability to create captivating gaming experiences. With over two decades of expertise in animation and design, and a client list that includes giants like Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, it's clear that BUCK is poised to bring the same high-quality standard to their mobile game releases under the BUCK Games banner.

“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.”
