Netflix is launching an exciting companion game for its upcoming sci-fi adventure film The Electric State. Titled The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, this puzzle adventure offers retro-futuristic gameplay and releases March 18th - just four days after the film's March 14th debut.
More Than Just a Movie Adaptation
Developed by BUCK Games (Let's! Revolution!) in partnership with AGBO, Kid Cosmo serves as a prequel to the Russo Brothers' film starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt. Rather than retelling the movie's post-apocalyptic road trip through an alternate 1990s America, the game explores the childhood backstory of characters Chris and Michelle through an immersive game-within-a-game framework.
Puzzle Adventures With an '80s Twist
Set in 1985 Wichita, Kansas, the five-year narrative unfolds through puzzle sequences reminiscent of WarioWare but with distinct retro-futuristic flair. Players collect modules to repair Kid Cosmo's ship while solving brain-teasers that gradually reveal the game's mysterious world. Check out the first trailer below:
Netflix Expands Gaming Portfolio
This release continues Netflix's strategy of developing interactive companion titles for its original productions. Recent examples include Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales, Too Hot to Handle, Money Heist: Ultimate Choice, and Squid Game: Unleashed.
The game will be available to Netflix subscribers upon release. In other gaming news, check out our coverage of the new Hello Kitty My Dream Store merging game featuring Sanrio characters.
