Lost: The Video Game is the first official
game of the series for video game consoles and PCs from the developer Ubisoft Montreal, scheduled to be released sometime in Q1 2008. According to ebgames.com the
Lost video game is set to be released Febuary 26, 2008.
The game will be offered for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PCs. It will use its own original graphics engine. It was officially unveiled with a screening of its trailer during the
Comic-Con 2007 pane
The game will follow a new character,
Elliot [1], a "photojournalist with amnesia" whose background will be revealed over the course of the game through playable
flashbacks. Elliot has not yet been featured in the show, but could possibly make the transition from game to screen
[2].
Elliot's story arc will be divided into seven segments equivalent to roughly 90 minutes of gameplay. These "
episodes" will have a format similar to those of the TV show, with "Previously On..." recaps at the beginning of each episode and cliffhangers at the end. The beginning of the first episode finds Elliot needing to fix a fuel leak at the plane-
crash site; another will have him trying to prove to everyone that he's not a terrorist. After the hatch is opened in the game, Elliot will be able to explore parts of the island that weren't seen or were barely seen in the show - including the island's computer
network. At times, Elliot will need to enter the
numbers.
The game will begin in Season 1 before the opening of the
hatch and continue until the beginning of
Season 3. Most of the main characters in the show will appear in the game to help Elliot, including
Jack,
Sawyer,
Kate,
Sayid,
Hurley,
Locke and
Shannonl.
