If you were as mesmerized by the animation in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse as I was, leaving you in awe and perhaps reevaluating your life choices while watching BUCK deliver one masterpiece after another, you'll be thrilled to learn that this award-winning animation and design studio has now unveiled its game development branch. Yes, BUCK Games has officially been announced, coinciding with the launch of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, which cleverly integrates as a game within the film's universe.
This isn't BUCK's first venture into gaming; they previously launched Let’s! Revolution!, a captivating roguelite puzzle game. With over two decades of experience in animation and design, serving clients like Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK's track record is impressive. Their portfolio suggests that future releases from the newly formed BUCK Games will maintain, if not exceed, the high quality we've come to expect on mobile platforms.
Michael Highland, Creative Director of BUCK Games, shares, “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.”
