Netflix is launching a retro-futuristic puzzle game, The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, to coincide with the release of its upcoming sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. The game arrives March 18th, just days after the film's March 14th debut on Netflix. Directed by the Russo brothers and starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, the movie depicts a post-apocalyptic road trip across an alternate 1990s America filled with 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 childhood of key characters Chris and Michelle through 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.
Imagine a WarioWare-esque adventure with a distinct 80s vibe. Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the story unfolds over five years, revealing the journey of Chris and Michelle before the events of the film. Players will collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo's ship, and solve puzzles to uncover the mysteries of this strange world.
Netflix Expands its Interactive Gaming Lineup
The Electric State: Kid Cosmo continues Netflix's trend of releasing interactive spin-off games. Their growing gaming catalog already includes titles like Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales, Too Hot to Handle, Money Heist: Ultimate Choice, and Squid Game: Unleashed.
