As first reported in May 2006, Lost is getting the video game treatment. The game, titled "Lost: Via Domus" and produced by Montreal-based Ubisoft, will not be a reproduction of the survivors' adventures. Instead, the game will add a new chapter to the series.

Nicolas Eypert, who was part of the creation team of the game, revealed in interview with a French-Canadian newspaper that the game will be a complementary experience that adds to the episodes, blogs, forums, and magazines about the series. The storyline crosses paths with the action that occurred during the first two seasons of the series.

While at the San Diego Comic-Con International last summer, Lost executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse said that "The sense of adventure and suspense that we strive for in the show is also captured in the Lost video game."

In a press release sent last July, Ubisoft revealed that players will play a never-seen-on-the-show passenger of Oceanic Flight 815 who survived the crash. Players will have to face the same demons that hit the characters on the show (a dark past, redemption, being stuck on an island, etc.) while trying to solve puzzles, face the smoke monster, fight enemies, make alliances, and much more in order to stay alive. The game features the main characters and locations.

The game will be available on the following platforms: Xbox 360™, PLAYSTATION®3 and PC-CD Rom. The content will be the same for all three platforms but will feature different exclusive content as the player progresses in the game.

According to Eypert, the game will hit stores around the world on February 28; however, the game's official pre-order pages say it will be available on the 26th. You can learn more about the game by visiting the game's ABC website or the official website.
