Ubisoft inks deal for 'Heroes' video game
NBC’s hit series ”Heroes” is powering up for a video game adaptation by French gamemaker Ubisoft.
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.
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 his 2009 sci-fi film “Avatar.”
