Netflix is set to launch a movie tie-in game, The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, in anticipation of their upcoming sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State. Scheduled for release on March 18th, just four days following the film's debut on Netflix on March 14th, this puzzle game promises a retro-futuristic twist that is sure to captivate fans.
Directed by the acclaimed Russo brothers, the film features stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt on a post-apocalyptic road trip through an alternate version of 1990s America, complete with colossal robots. However, The Electric State: Kid Cosmo is not merely a direct adaptation of the film's narrative.
The Electric State: Kid Cosmo serves as a prequel, delving into the early years of the movie's key characters, Chris and Michelle. Developed by BUCK Games in partnership with AGBO, this game offers a unique game-within-a-game experience. BUCK Games, known for their critically acclaimed roguelite puzzle game Let’s! Revolution! on Steam, is expected to deliver a compelling gameplay experience.
Set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, the game spans five years, offering an in-depth exploration of Chris and Michelle's backstory. Players will navigate through puzzle adventures reminiscent of the WarioWare series but infused with an '80s aesthetic. The gameplay involves collecting modules, repairing Kid Cosmo's ship, and solving puzzles that unveil the mysteries of this intriguing world.
The release of The Electric State: Kid Cosmo aligns with Netflix's recent strategy of expanding its gaming offerings, particularly through interactive spin-offs. This trend is evident in games like Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales, Too Hot to Handle Series, Money Heist: Ultimate Choice, and Squid Game: Unleashed, showcasing a growing commitment to engaging their audience beyond traditional streaming.
If you're a Netflix subscriber, you can explore their growing game catalogue on the Google Play Store. Additionally, don't miss out on our coverage of the exciting new game, Hello Kitty My Dream Store, featuring a merger with Sanrio characters.
