You knew it was coming, it was just a matter of time. Ubisoft today announced that they have picked up the rights to turn Emmy-Award-winning Lost into a game.

The Lost game will be developed by Ubi's Montreal studio and should hit next year for unnamed consoles and portables and the PC.

The press release includes a little quote from the executive producer of the show confirming what we all expected, the Lost writers are gamers:

"Many of us on 'Lost' have been hardcore gamers for years and the chance to work with Ubisoft, a company behind some of our favorite titles, has excited us to no end," said 'Lost' executive producer Bryan Burk. "With the ability to tell new interactive stories within the 'Lost' universe, we're giddy to be developing a game that, once completed, will be as engaging and fun to play as it is to create."

My money is on the game screwing up the franchise, but maybe Ubi will get it right. —Brian Crecente
