Netflix Cancels Electric State Prequel Game: Kid Cosmo

Netflix is set to expand its gaming portfolio with an exciting new addition tied to their upcoming sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. The movie, directed by the Russo brothers and starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, is slated for release on March 14th. It promises a thrilling post-apocalyptic road trip across an alternate ’90s America, filled with massive robots. Just four days later, on March 18th, Netflix will release a puzzle game titled The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, which offers a retro-futuristic twist.

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

The Electric State: Kid Cosmo isn’t just a straightforward adaptation; it’s a prequel to the movie's narrative. Developed by BUCK Games, known for their acclaimed roguelite puzzle game Let’s! Revolution! on Steam, in collaboration with AGBO, this game delves into the childhood of two pivotal characters, Chris and Michelle. Players will experience their early years through a unique game-within-a-game format.

Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, Kid Cosmo spans five years, providing a deeper insight into Chris and Michelle’s journey before the events depicted in the film. The gameplay mirrors the quick-paced style of the WarioWare series but infuses an '80s aesthetic. Players will navigate puzzle adventures, collect modules, repair Kid Cosmo's ship, and unravel the mysteries of this intriguing world.

The Electric State: Kid Cosmo Follows Netflix’s Trend of Spin-Offs

This release aligns with Netflix's growing trend of expanding its gaming catalogue with interactive spin-offs. From titles 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 for subscribers.
