Did you watch the Lost series? Did you like it? If you did and if you also own an Xbox 360, PS3 or PC, then you should know that Ubisoft, in collaboration with ABC Entertainment and ABC Studios, have announced today the Lost video game. It is said to ship sometime during Q1 2008 for all the upper mentioned platforms.

According to the report, the Lost video game will allow players to experience an untold adventure of Lost in an immersive, interactive world, being developed by Ubisoft's Montreal studio. "Ubisoft is thrilled to be collaborating with ABC to develop this phenomenal television series into an interactive experience," said Helene Juguet, US senior director of marketing for Ubisoft.

But here are some facts about the game (features and all): As a passenger of Oceanic flight 815, you survived the crash and find yourself on an uncharted island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. As you begin to unravel mysteries of the island, you begin to discover secrets of your own. You will have to understand your past mistakes in order to survive and find your way home?

■ Play as a survivor of Oceanic Flight 815: Confront your dark past, seek your redemption, and ultimately find a way home. ■ Authentic 'Lost' experience: Explore familiar locations, unravel mysteries, and interact with the main characters from the show. ■ Survive the challenges that the island throws at you: Solve puzzles, outsmart enemies, battle the smoke monster, and overcome many other challenges to survive the island and come out alive.

"Ubisoft has worked closely with ABC Studios and the show's producers to create a compelling storyline that has the same mystery, adventure and intensity fans of the show have come to expect from the 'Lost' brand."

"We're very excited to be working with Ubisoft to develop a game that captures the same surprise and intrigue as 'Lost,'" said Bruce Gersh, senior vice president, business development, ABC Entertainment and ABC Studios. "The series has such a loyal audience, and we're happy to bring fans an additional way to interact and engage with their favorite characters."

That's all for now, but stay close for future updates. Oh, the official report said that Ubisoft would be unveiling the game's first official trailer at the San Diego Comic-Con International on Thursday, 26th July at Lost's Season 4 panel. I couldn't find it anywhere...
