Netflix Cancels 'Electric State' Prequel Game

Netflix is releasing a puzzle game, The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, to coincide with the upcoming sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. This retro-futuristic puzzle game launches March 18th, just four days after the film's March 14th Netflix debut. Directed by the Russo brothers and starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, the film features 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 adaptation; it's a prequel exploring the childhoods of key characters, Chris and Michelle, through a unique game-within-a-game structure. Developed by BUCK Games (creators of the popular Steam game Let's! Revolution!) in collaboration with AGBO, the game promises engaging gameplay.

Expect a WarioWare-esque series of puzzle adventures with a distinct 1980s vibe. Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the story unfolds over five years, revealing the characters' journey before the movie's events. Players will collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo's ship, and solve puzzles to uncover the world's secrets. See a glimpse of the game below:
