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

By CharlotteApr 16,2025

If, like me, the stunning animation in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse left you speechless and wondering what you've been doing with your life while animators at BUCK consistently deliver exceptional work (think Love, Death + Robots and Secret Level), you'll be thrilled to learn that this award-winning studio is now venturing into game development.

BUCK has officially launched its new game development branch, BUCK Games, coinciding with the release of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo. This game is a unique tie-in to the upcoming film, blending the worlds of cinema and gaming in an exciting way.

This isn't BUCK's first venture into gaming, though. They previously released the colorful roguelite puzzler Let’s! Revolution!, showcasing their knack for creating engaging games. With over two decades of experience in animation and design, and clients like Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK's portfolio speaks for itself.

ytGiven their track record, it's reasonable to expect that future releases from BUCK Games will maintain, if not exceed, the high standards they've set in mobile gaming.

“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.”
