Netflix is set to launch an exciting puzzle game, The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, tied to their upcoming sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. This game, which will be released on March 18th, just four days after the movie's premiere on Netflix on March 14th, promises a unique retro-futuristic experience. Directed by the acclaimed Russo brothers and starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, the film follows a post-apocalyptic road trip across an alternate '90s America, filled with massive robots.
More Than Just a Movie Tie-In
The Electric State: Kid Cosmo isn't merely a simple adaptation of the film. Instead, it serves as a prequel, delving into the childhood of two pivotal characters, Chris and Michelle, through an engaging game-within-a-game format. Developed by BUCK Games, known for their acclaimed roguelite puzzle game Let's! Revolution! on Steam, in collaboration with AGBO, this game is poised to offer robust gameplay.
Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, Kid Cosmo takes players on a journey spanning five years, offering insights into Chris and Michelle's early adventures. The game blends puzzle-solving with a narrative reminiscent of the WarioWare series, yet infuses it with an '80s aesthetic. Players will collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo's ship, and unravel the mysteries of this intriguing world. Get a sneak peek at the game in the trailer below.
Following Netflix's Trend of Interactive Spin-Offs
The launch of The Electric State: Kid Cosmo aligns with Netflix's growing trend of expanding their gaming catalogue with interactive spin-offs. From games like Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales and Too Hot to Handle Series to Money Heist: Ultimate Choice and Squid Game: Unleashed, Netflix continues to diversify its offerings.
