He continued, "We were sitting here with the guys that are making it, [who] actually are from Canada - Montreal. And they did a demo of some of the elements of it and it's really cool. It's actually going to be a pretty cool game."
Ubisoft first announced the acquisition of the Lost licence back in May 2006. The publisher also stated that tie-in games are in development for handheld consoles, but did not reveal which studio would be working on the project.
