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

Netflix is releasing a retro-futuristic puzzle game, The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, to coincide with the upcoming sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. Launching March 18th, just days after the film's March 14th premiere, the game serves as a prequel, exploring the childhoods of key characters Chris and Michelle, played by Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown respectively, in the film directed by the Russo brothers.

This isn't a simple movie adaptation; The Electric State: Kid Cosmo offers a unique "game-within-a-game" experience. Developed by BUCK Games (creators of the popular Steam game Let's! Revolution!) in collaboration with AGBO, the game promises engaging gameplay.

Set in 1985 Wichita, Kansas, the story unfolds over five years, leading up to the events of the film. Players embark on puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series, but with a distinct 80s aesthetic. Gameplay involves collecting modules, repairing Kid Cosmo's ship, and solving puzzles to uncover the mysteries of this strange world.

The Electric State: Kid Cosmo continues Netflix's trend of expanding its gaming library with interactive spin-offs, joining titles like Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales, Too Hot to Handle, Money Heist: Ultimate Choice, and Squid Game: Unleashed.
