Video game publisher Ubisoft have announced a long-term worldwide licensing agreement with Touchstone Television to develop and publish a video game based on Lost.

News of the game comes a day after the announcement of a ‘Lost’ action figure series developed by MacFarlane Toys. It appears Touchstone Television and the creators of Lost are taking advantage of every merchandising opportunity available but what’s next, a ‘Lost’ board game perhaps?

“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.”

Read the full press release.

Hugh McIntyre, the Hanso Foundation’s Director of Communications, was on Jimmy Kimmel last night. This was a very odd conversation because Hugh made it sound like this is a real company separate from Lost.

During the season finale of Lost last night, the Hanso Foundation aired another updated commercial. This time they point us to a site called Hanso Careers.

If you look closely on this site you will notice several letters standout on different pages. If you write them all down you will get “m A I n s l u t e m y a” and this is an anagram for “ inmate asylum “.

Us this anagram as a password on the Board of Directors pages on the Hanso Foundation. Persephone’s new clue reveals more information about Jacob Vanderfield, Lawrence Peck, and Peter Thompson.

Thanks to everyone for commenting on this in the Lost finale post and the AndFound forum.

Season 2 of Lost has ended with a bang I presume, I still dont get to see it for another hour. What did everyone on the east coast think of Live Together, Die Alone? Did it answer all of the questions that you hoped would be answered and what did it leave out?

Update: The Foot with Four Toes

Touchstone TV is partnering with MacFarlane Toys to create a line of action figures based on the show’s characters. The 6-inch figures are scheduled to be released when season 3 begins.

McFarlane Toys’ Lost Series 1 captures six fan-favorite characters from the series’ first season: Jack, Kate, Locke, Hurley, Charlie and Shannon. Each 6-inch Lost figure will have a detailed base and photographic backdrop, capturing an episode-specific moment in the character’s story.

We will also be releasing Lost deluxe boxed sets — re-creating key moments between multiple characters, and small-scale dioramas — replicating central locations such as the mysterious island and the infamous hatch.

Update: Here is a picture of the Charlie action figure.
