Following the adventures of the surprisingly close-knit and multi-powered Heroes cast, the third-person action game is headed to PC and unspecified "next-generation game consoles," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Further details are scarce and no release date has been specified, but it is known that the game won't recreate past story arcs, nor will it serve as a means to explain what happens between seasons.

"From Day 1 we've all been thinking about the game," explained show co-executive producer Jesse Alexander. "All along we've been writing some of our stories in ways they can tie into the eventual video game."

"We want it to have a lasting shelf-life and tell a distinctive story that gives you enhanced insight into the entire franchise," Alexander continued.

"We're very excited to be making the Heroes video game with Ubisoft," noted Kring. "Time and again, Ubisoft has proven they can turn licensed properties into fantastic games."

Ubisoft experienced both critical and commercial success with Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of of the Movie (PC, PS2, X360, Xbox, GCN, DS, PSP) in 2005, causing CEO Yves Guillemot to focus more on licensed titles. The game was developed by Ubisoft's Montpellier studio under the guidance of Michael Ancel, the man behind the company's Rayman and Beyond Good & Evil properties.

Earlier this week, Ubisoft revealed it is working on a game inspired by James Cameron's upcoming Avatar film, both of which are slated for a 2009 release. The company previously acquired the rights to create a game based on ABC and J.J. Abram's Lost, which will arrive from Ubisoft Monreal on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in Q1 2008.
