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

If you were blown away by the stunning animation in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and found yourself questioning your life choices while watching BUCK's masterpieces like Love, Death + Robots and Secret Level, you'll be thrilled to learn that the award-winning animation and design company is expanding into game development.

BUCK has officially launched its game development branch, BUCK Games, coinciding with the release of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo. This innovative title is a game within a game, intricately tied to the upcoming film.

BUCK is no stranger to 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 Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK is poised to bring the same high-quality craftsmanship to its mobile game offerings through BUCK Games.

Michael Highland, Creative Director of BUCK Games, shared his thoughts on the new venture: “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.”
