Lost: The Video Game

Lost television serial’s fans will have soon the opportunity to feel the same sensations as while watching the series, with this new video game developed and published by one of the top leaders in the gaming industry, Ubisoft.

Lost: The Video Game is inspired, off course, from the Lost action, and has nothing to do with the LOST game for mobile, released in January this year.The game it is under production and was officially announced at Comic-Con 2007.
It will be released in February 2008 for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.Its development started in 2006, after Ubisoft had licenced the rights from Touchstone Television.

According to Ubisoft, it will be more complex as the TV serial, having some extra missions which are expanding the playable content.
Damon Lindelof, the head writer of the TV show, was asked how is the game looking from what he’d seen. His replied: "From what I've seen? RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME!".The game’s action is said to be involving Resident Evil-style fetch quests and puzzle solving, while an integral part of the story will be the flashbacks.

It transfers the player in the skin of a previously unseen survivor, Elliott, a photojournalist suffering from amnesia.
You will explore exotic locations that appear in the show, and interact with Jack, Locke, Sawyer, Kate, Sayid, Michael, Walt or Hurley.

From what Ubisoft showed at Comic Con, and what we’ve heard, in the game you’ll encounter the key elements from the series, like the black smoke that can kill, the black rock, the cave and even the Other’s territory and the Swan station.There are 7 levels in the game, plotted by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, co-host at the Official Lost Podcast.

Jorge Garcia, Hugo in Lost, declared in an interview: “From what I saw in the trailer, it definitely captured our sets very well. The Hatch was pretty detailed. From what I saw it looked pretty good.”
