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

Netflix is set to launch an exciting new game, The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, tied to their upcoming sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. This puzzle game, with a retro-futuristic twist, will be released on March 18th, just four days after the movie premieres on Netflix on March 14th. Directed by the acclaimed Russo brothers, the film features Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt navigating a post-apocalyptic road trip through an alternate 1990s America, filled with massive robots and thrilling adventures.

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

The Electric State: Kid Cosmo is more than just a movie tie-in; it's a prequel that delves into the early lives of key characters, Chris and Michelle. Developed by BUCK Games, known for their roguelite puzzle game Let's! Revolution!, in collaboration with AGBO, this game offers a unique game-within-a-game experience. Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, players will embark on a five-year journey through puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series but infused with an '80s aesthetic.

In The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, players will collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo's ship, and solve puzzles that gradually reveal the mysteries of this enigmatic world. For a sneak peek, check out the official game trailer below.
