BUCK Expands Animation Studio, 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 inspired you to rethink your life choices while marveling at the incredible work from studios like BUCK, you're in for a treat. The award-winning animation and design powerhouse behind Secret Level and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is now venturing into the world of game development with their new branch, BUCK Games.

BUCK Games has made its debut alongside the launch of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, a unique game that intertwines with the upcoming film. This isn't BUCK's first venture into gaming, though; they previously released the vibrant roguelite puzzler, Let’s! Revolution!. With over two decades of experience in animation and design, serving clients such as Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK's portfolio speaks volumes about their capabilities.

With such an impressive track record, it's exciting to anticipate what BUCK Games will bring to the mobile gaming scene. Michael Highland, Creative Director of BUCK Games, shared, “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.”
