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

Netflix is launching a retro-futuristic puzzle game, The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, to coincide with the release of their upcoming sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. Launching March 18th, just days after the film's March 14th premiere, the game offers a unique prequel experience.

Directed by the Russo brothers and starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, The Electric State depicts a post-apocalyptic road trip across an alternate 1990s America, featuring giant robots. The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, however, takes a different approach.

More Than Just a Movie Tie-in

Instead of a direct adaptation, Kid Cosmo acts as a prequel, exploring the childhood of key characters Chris and Michelle through a game-within-a-game format. Developed by BUCK Games (creators of the popular Steam game Let's! Revolution!) in collaboration with AGBO, the game promises engaging gameplay.

Expect a WarioWare-esque series of puzzle adventures with a distinct 1980s aesthetic. Set in Wichita, Kansas in 1985, the story unfolds over five years, providing 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 unravel the mysteries 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 of its popular shows and movies. Joining titles like Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales, Too Hot to Handle, Money Heist: Ultimate Choice, and Squid Game: Unleashed, this game further expands Netflix's gaming catalog.

For Netflix subscribers, the game will be available on the Google Play Store. Stay tuned for our next article on the new game, Hello Kitty My Dream Store.
