Mar 10, 2025


The world of The Electric State is expanding with a prequel video game titled The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, and it will be released just days after the Russo brothers’ highly anticipated Netflix film drops. We also have a trailer for you to watch.This is a mobile game that offers fans an interactive experience set in the eerie, robot-ravaged landscape of an alternate ‘90s America.It dives into the backstory of Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown) and her younger brother Chris, filling in the emotional gaps before the film’s events. The game, described as a “bite-sized adventure puzzle game,” will span five years of their journey, weaving in emotional storytelling with engaging gameplay.Netflix and the Russos’ AGBO media company shared: “This narrative-driven game takes place before the events of the movie and spans five years, blending gameplay with emotional storytelling to create an immersive experience.” The film itself, based on Simon Stålenhag’s graphic novel and scripted by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, follows Michelle as she traverses a desolate American West with her quirky robot Cosmo, a smuggler named Keats (Chris Pratt), and his wisecracking bot companion Herman (Anthony Mackie). The cast is stacked, featuring Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Woody Norman, Giancarlo Esposito, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Hank Azaria, Colman Domingo, and Alan TudykFor fans eager to dive deeper into The Electric State’s world, Kid Cosmo isn’t just a fun side project, it’s a way to experience a crucial part of the story that the film doesn’t have time to explore.Anthony Russo explained: “It does expand upon the relationship that the lead characters have in the movie, Michelle and her brother Chris. So it does get into a part of their relationship that we don’t follow in the film, that kind of predates the film, but also post-dates the film as well. “And the game is able to explore the relationship in more depth. We certainly explore the relationship very thoroughly in the movie, but there’s just a limit in a two-hour medium to how much ground you can cover, in terms of story. “So the game does hold something very special in terms of like, who these people are, what their relationship is to one another, and how it evolves and grows over time. And I think people will find it very relatable. It’s a wonderful, complicated brother-sister relationship in everything that that entails.”The game launches on March 18th and will be free to play for Netflix subscribers on iOS and Android.
