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 hear that BUCK, the award-winning studio behind it, has ventured into game development with their new BUCK Games branch. Known for their work on Secret Level, Love, Death + Robots, and the vibrant roguelite puzzler Let’s! Revolution!, BUCK brings over two decades of experience in animation and design to the gaming world.

Their debut into the gaming industry is perfectly timed with the launch of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, a game that complements the film of the same name. This isn't just a new game; it's a testament to BUCK's ability to innovate and adapt, as stated by Michael Highland, Creative Director of BUCK Games: "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."

Given BUCK's impressive portfolio, which includes clients like Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, it's clear that their future mobile game releases will maintain, if not exceed, the high-quality standards they are known for.

In the meantime, you can experience The Electric State: Kid Cosmo on Netflix. If you're curious about more gaming options, check out these top Netflix games as well.
