BUCK 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 questioning your life choices while BUCK continues to deliver one masterpiece after another (think Love, Death + Robots and Secret Level), you'll be thrilled to learn that this award-winning animation and design powerhouse is venturing into game development.

BUCK has officially launched its new game development branch, BUCK Games, coinciding with the debut of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo. This intriguing title is essentially a game within a game, intricately linked to the film of the same name.

This isn't BUCK's first rodeo in the gaming world, though. They previously released Let’s! Revolution!, a vibrant roguelite puzzler. With over two decades of experience in animation and design, and an impressive client list that includes Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK is poised to bring the same high-quality experience to mobile gaming with their new venture.

Given their stellar track record, it's safe to anticipate that future releases from BUCK Games will match, if not exceed, the quality we've come to expect.

“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.”
