Ubisoft gets Lost
Do you sometimes have the urge to control the fates of Jack, Kate and the rest of the Lost gang yourself, instead of helplessly watching them stumble from one mystery to the other? Well, you may get your chance soon – Ubisoft has announced the creation of a game based on popular TV series Lost, for which they are collaborating with Touchstone Television and producer Bryan Burk.
Ubisoft’s award winning Montreal studio (Splinter Cell et al.) will be handling the development, with gameplay details unknown as of yet. Since the show is primarily a drama, not an action fest, it’s gonna be interesting to see how the unique setting and characters will translate into a game.
“Many of us on ‘LostÂ’ have been hardcore gamers for years and the chance to work with Ubisoft, a company behind some of our favourite titles, has excited us to no end,” Bryan Burk said. “With the ability to tell new interactive stories within the ‘LostÂ’ universe, weÂ’re giddy to be developing a game that, once completed, will be as engaging and fun to play as it is to create.”
Lost: The Game is scheduled for a release in 2007 on “home and portable consoles as well as PCs“.
