Now this is some awesome news! Who wouldn’t like to play a game based on the hit show?

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.”

Not only that, it was mentioned that that game is not about one hero, but about an ensemble.

“From Day 1 we’ve all been thinking about the game,” said “Heroes” co-executive producer Jesse Alexander, who first hinted about the game during an online podcast in May. “All along we’ve been writing some of our stories in ways they can tie into the eventual video game.”

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.
