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

If you were blown away by the animation in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and found yourself questioning your life choices while marveling at the work of studios like BUCK, you'll be thrilled to learn that this award-winning animation and design company is expanding into game development.

BUCK, the studio behind Secret Level and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, has officially launched its game development branch, BUCK Games. This announcement coincides with the release of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, a unique game that intertwines with the film of the same name.

This isn't BUCK's first venture into gaming. They previously released Let’s! Revolution!, a vibrant roguelite puzzle game. With over two decades of experience in animation and design, and clients like Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK is poised to bring the same high-quality standards to their mobile game offerings.

Michael Highland, Creative Director of BUCK Games, shared his excitement about the new 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.”
