If, like me, the stunning animation from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse left you in awe and made you rethink your entire career path—especially seeing powerhouse studios like BUCK consistently deliver visual masterpieces across projects such as Love, Death + Robots and Secret Level—then you’ll be thrilled to learn that this award-winning animation and design studio is now stepping into the world of game development.
Yes, BUCK has officially launched BUCK Games, its brand-new game development division, debuting alongside Netflix Games’ The Electric State: Kid Cosmo. This unique title functions as a game within a game, serving as a companion experience tied to the upcoming film The Electric State.
While this marks an exciting new chapter for BUCK, it’s not their first venture into interactive entertainment. Prior to this, the studio released Let’s! Revolution!, a vibrant roguelite puzzle game that showcased their signature artistic flair and creative ingenuity. With over two decades of experience crafting visuals for global brands like Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK brings a wealth of expertise to the gaming space.
Given their impressive track record, it’s safe to say that future titles under the BUCK Games banner will maintain—if not elevate—that same high-quality standard, especially when optimized for mobile platforms.
“Developing a game connected to a larger world was a new challenge, and demanded adaptability and ingenuity from our team,” said 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.”
