Ubisoft has
announced that they will be making a new game based on the popular
television series "Lost'. It will be developed by the
company's Montreal studios, and is slated for unspecified home and
handheld consoles, as well as the PC.
“We are
delighted to work with Bryan Burk, one of the biggest producers in
Hollywood and with Touchstone Television,” said Yves Guillemot, CEO 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 favourite titles, has excited
us to no end," said ‘Lost’ 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."
