On the MTV Gameblog we can find the confirmation about the cancellation of the Heroes videogame, a title based on the TV serie that was in development at Ubisoft for the current generation consoles: “The rights to the ‘Heroes’ video game have reverted back to NBC Universal. Ubisoft will no longer produce a video game based on the TV series. The game was officially announced in July 2007 and slated to release in late 2008. Ubisoft’s announcement follows NBC’s firing of the program’s executive producers, reported by Variety this past weekend.” No screens or videos were released before the cancellation, but maybe some media will be leaked in the future.
