"Netflix Cancels Electric State Prequel Game: Kid Cosmo"

Netflix is set to enhance its gaming offerings with the release of a movie tie-in game, *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo*, tied to the upcoming sci-fi adventure film, *The Electric State*. Scheduled for release on March 18th, the game will follow just four days after the film premieres on Netflix on March 14th. Directed by the acclaimed Russo brothers, the movie stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, and features a captivating journey through an alternate 1990s America, filled with massive robots.

Not Just a Simple Movie Adaptation

*The Electric State: Kid Cosmo* isn't a direct adaptation of the film's plot but serves as a prequel. It delves into the early years of two central characters, Chris and Michelle, through an engaging game-within-a-game format. Developed by BUCK Games in partnership with AGBO, the studio behind the well-received roguelite puzzle game *Let's! Revolution!* on Steam, this game promises robust gameplay.

The game, set in Wichita, Kansas, in 1985, unfolds over five years and introduces players to a series of puzzle adventures reminiscent of the *WarioWare* series but with an '80s aesthetic. Players will navigate through the narrative, collecting modules and repairing Kid Cosmo's ship while solving puzzles that reveal the mysteries of this intriguing world.

Following Netflix's Trend of Interactive Spin-Offs

The launch of *The Electric State: Kid Cosmo* aligns with Netflix's strategy to expand its gaming library, particularly with interactive spin-offs. From titles like *Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales* and *Too Hot to Handle: Love is a Game* to *Money Heist: Ultimate Choice* and *Squid Game: Unleashed*, Netflix continues to grow its diverse gaming portfolio.
