The smash TV series is picked up for a videogame adaptation by Ubisoft Montreal...

In a joint statement, Ubisoft and ABC Entertainment have announced that the developer/publisher has been awarded the rights to adapt the TV series Lost for multiple videogame platforms. Currently in development at Ubisoft Montreal, the home of the Prince of Persia series and the forthcoming PlayStation3 title Assassin's Creed, Lost the videogame is set for release during 2007.

Details on the storyline, and the nature of the gameplay itself, are yet to be revealed by the developer though given the secretive nature of the series itself don't expect too much information on the narrative when it eventually comes.

"We are delighted to work with Bryan Burk, one of the biggest producers in Hollywood and with Touchstone Television," said Yves Guillemot, Chief Executive Officer of Ubisoft. "That they have chosen us for the adaptation of the cult series 'Lost' is the best homage that a producer can make to the creativity of Ubisoft."

"This deal is another example of how truly powerful the 'Lost' brand is," said Bruce Gersh, Senior Vice President, Business Development, ABC Entertainment and Touchstone Television. "We are excited to work together with Ubisoft to create a gaming experience that will allow fans to further immerse themselves into the mysteries and intrigues of the series."

"The creative appeal of 'Lost' transcends borders with its character driven stories and addictive mysterious mythology," said Julia Franz, Executive Vice President, Touchstone Television. "It's not enough for fans worldwide to just watch 'Lost,' the game is a wonderful opportunity to organically extend this creative phenomenon into an interactive consumer experience."

"Many of us on 'Lost' have been hardcore gamers for years and the chance to work with Ubisoft, a company behind some of our favorite titles, has excited us to no end," said "Lost" Executive Producer Bryan Burk. "With the ability to tell new interactive stories within the 'Lost' universe, we're giddy to be developing a game that, once completed, will be as engaging and fun to play as it is to create."

We'll have more news on Lost the videogame in future months...

This is probably one of the worst Xbox titles. Ubisoft Montreal made the game, which also amazes me. Without giving to much away, you play a new charachter who has amnesia (sp) your quest is to help him recover his memory. You do encounter some of losts regular cast members, most are voiced by terrible impersonators. On a plus side, the acheviements are easy, you could easily acheive all the points (complete game) in one day. Worth a rent, but not a purchase.
