Netflix Cancels 'The Electric State: Kid Cosmo' Prequel Game Before Movie Release

Netflix is gearing up to launch an exciting new game tied to their upcoming sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. Titled The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, this puzzle game with a retro-futuristic twist is set to release on March 18th, just four days after the film premieres on Netflix on March 14th. Directed by the Russo brothers, the movie boasts an impressive cast including Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, and follows a thrilling post-apocalyptic road trip across an alternate ’90s America filled with massive robots.

It’s Not Going to be a Simple Adaptation of the Movie

The Electric State: Kid Cosmo isn't just another movie tie-in; it's a prequel that dives into the childhood of two central characters, Chris and Michelle. Developed by BUCK Games, in collaboration with AGBO, the game promises a unique game-within-a-game experience. BUCK Games, known for their acclaimed roguelite puzzle game Let’s! Revolution! on Steam, brings their expertise to ensure a compelling gameplay experience.

In Kid Cosmo, players will embark on puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series but infused with an '80s vibe. Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the game spans five years, offering a deep dive into Chris and Michelle’s early life before the events of the movie. Players will collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo’s ship, and solve puzzles that unveil the mysteries of this intriguing world. Get a sneak peek of The Electric State: Kid Cosmo in the trailer below.
