And Found

Mobile gaming company Gameloft has inked a deal with Touchstone Television and ABC to develop, publish and distribute Lost and Desperate Housewives mobile games, which are set for release in early 2007.

Commenting on the deal, Gameloft’s President, Michel Guillemot, said: “We are excited to develop and deliver games based on these shows to over one billion mobile users worldwide.”

As mentioned earlier on And Found, a console ‘Lost’ video game is being developed by Ubisoft, which has yet to receive a release date.

TDC Games is releasing a set of 4 official ‘Lost’ jigsaw puzzles. A representative of TDC Games informs me that “each of the 4 puzzles has a clue to some of the mythology of LOST that was given to [them] personally by the creative team”.

Puzzle #1 “The Hatch”, #2 “The Others” and #3 “The Numbers are all available now and #4 “Before the Crash” will be available in late fall 2006.

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.”
