Gameloft has just announced the launch of LOST, the official mobile game of ABC/Touchstone Television's award-winning television series. Developed in close collaboration with the show's producers, the game will most likely pick up instant success by connecting with its massive amount of loyal fans.

In time for the show's highly-anticipated February 7th return, Gameloft has created a diverse action/adventure game aimed at bringing drama and suspense to anyone with access to a cell phone. Gamers will play Jack and relive the show's most pivotal moments: experience the plane crash, open the hatch and meet the notorious Others. Gameplay includes various challenges such as hunting for food, tending to the wounded and searching for dynamite. Players can also interact with the rest of the show's ensemble cast including Kate, Locke, Sayid and Sawyer. With genuine character likenesses and authentic locations replicated from the show's set, gamers will feel as though they are deep in the belly of the island.

"We are thrilled that Gameloft is bringing our show to the mobile game market," said Carlton Cuse, Executive Producer of the show. "The game offers drama, suspense and pure fun. Gameloft managed to reconstruct all the key locations from our show - from the crash site to the hatch, to our jungle?all with realistic, high-quality graphics. It would be easy to get LOST for a lot of hours playing this game."

The LOST mobile game is available through 170 telecom operators, 150 partners, in 75 countries. It has been adapted to 800 different cell phone models.
