If you were as blown away by the animation in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse as I was, and have been wondering what you've been doing with your life while studios like BUCK consistently deliver masterpieces in projects like Love, Death + Robots and Secret Level, you'll be thrilled to learn about their latest venture. The award-winning animation and design studio behind these hits is now expanding into game development with the launch of BUCK Games.
BUCK Games made its debut alongside the release of Netflix Games' The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, a unique game that ties directly into the film's universe. This isn't BUCK's first dive into gaming, though. They previously released Let’s! Revolution!, a captivating roguelite puzzler, showcasing their versatility. With over two decades of experience working with clients like Apple, Riot Games, and Microsoft, BUCK is poised to bring the same high-quality visuals and innovation to mobile gaming through their new BUCK Games branch.
Michael Highland, Creative Director of BUCK Games, shared insights on the challenge of developing a game connected to a larger world: “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.”
