Netflix Is Dropping The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, a Prequel Game to the Upcoming Movie

Netflix is releasing a puzzle game, The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, to coincide with the upcoming sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. This retro-futuristic puzzle game launches March 18th, just days after the film's March 14th Netflix debut. Directed by the Russo brothers and starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, the film depicts a post-apocalyptic road trip across an alternate 1990s America, featuring giant robots.

More Than Just a Movie Tie-in

The Electric State: Kid Cosmo isn't a simple movie adaptation; it's a prequel exploring the childhoods of key characters, Chris and Michelle, through a unique game-within-a-game structure. Developed by BUCK Games (creators of the popular Steam game Let's! Revolution!) in collaboration with AGBO, the game promises engaging gameplay.

The game boasts a distinct 1980s vibe, reminiscent of the WarioWare series. Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the story unfolds over five years, offering a deeper understanding of Chris and Michelle's journey before the events of the film. Players will collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo's ship, and solve puzzles to uncover the secrets of this strange world.

Part of Netflix's Growing Gaming Lineup

The Electric State: Kid Cosmo continues Netflix's trend of releasing interactive spin-offs. Their gaming catalog is expanding rapidly, with titles like Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales, Too Hot to Handle, Money Heist: Ultimate Choice, and Squid Game: Unleashed already available.
