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

If you were as blown away by the animation in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse as I was, you'll be thrilled to learn that the award-winning studio behind it, BUCK, is now venturing into game development with its new BUCK Games branch. This exciting announcement comes alongside the launch of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, a game that cleverly ties into the upcoming film.

BUCK is no stranger to the gaming world, having previously released the colorful and engaging 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 has a robust portfolio that promises high-quality offerings in their new venture.

Given their track record, it's safe to expect that future releases from BUCK Games will maintain, if not surpass, the impressive standards set in their animation work, especially when it comes to mobile gaming.

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