If you were as blown away by the animation in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse as I was, and you've been wondering what you've been doing with your life while animators at BUCK consistently hit home runs with projects like Love, Death + Robots and Secret Level, you'll be thrilled to hear that the award-winning animation and design company is now stepping into the gaming world with their new BUCK Games branch.
BUCK Games was officially announced alongside the launch of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, a unique game that intertwines with the film's universe. This isn't BUCK's first venture into gaming, though; they previously released a captivating roguelite puzzle game called Let’s! Revolution!. With over two decades of experience in animation and design, and a client list that includes giants like Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, it's clear that BUCK is poised to bring the same high-quality standards to their mobile game releases.
Given their impressive portfolio, it's safe to anticipate that future releases from BUCK Games will be nothing short of exceptional.
“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.”
