"BUCK Expands Animation Studio, Launches Game Dev Branch with Kid Cosmo"

If, like me, the stunning animation from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse left you in awe and wondering about your own life choices while animators like BUCK consistently deliver exceptional work (especially in projects like Love, Death + Robots and Secret Level), you'll be thrilled to hear that the award-winning animation and design studio is now expanding into game development.

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 cleverly integrates with the upcoming film, offering an interactive experience that enhances the storytelling.

This isn't BUCK's first venture into the gaming world; they previously released Let’s! Revolution!, a colorful roguelite puzzler. 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, if not superior, quality 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.”
