I knew it was just a matter of time before this would happen -- NBC's hit series "Heroes" is powering up for a video game adaptation by French gamemaker Ubisoft, says The Hollywood Reporter. The long-in-the-works deal gives Ubisoft the rights to build a third-person superhero action game that brings the series characters, locations and story lines to next-generation game consoles and the PC. The untitled game could be in stores as soon as late 2008. "We're very excited to be making the 'Heroes' video game with Ubisoft," said Tim Kring, executive producer and creator of "Heroes." "Time and again, Ubisoft has proven they can turn licensed properties into fantastic games." The deal represents Ubisoft's second big licensing announcement of the week, coming on the heels of Tuesday's revelation of a partnership with filmmaker James Cameron and 20th Century Fox on a game for the 2009 sci-fi film Avatar. Instead of highlighting a specific character's heroic journey, the game will focus on the entire ensemble cast. The game also is expected to play a crucial role in how the show's writers explore cross-platform storytelling for future seasons.
