Heroes: The Video Game is a canceled video game that was supposed to be based on the Heroes world. It was scheduled to be released in fall of 2008, around the start of Season Three. It was canceled due to lack of resources from the video game developer, as well as declining rating from Heroes.

About

On July 26, 2007, NBC announced that the French gamemaker Ubisoft was given the rights to produce a third-person superhero action game based on the world of Heroes. The game would brings the series characters, locations, and story lines to next-generation game consoles and the PC in early or late 2008. The deal with Ubisoft had apparently been long in the works, and was finally announced at Comic-Con. Producer Jesse Alexander (who first hinted at the game during an online podcast in May 2007) said, "From Day 1 we've all been thinking about the game... All along we've been writing some of our stories in ways they can tie into the eventual video game."

The game would focus on the entire ensemble cast rather than highlighting a specific character's journey. Additionally, the game was expected to play a crucial role in how the show's writers explore cross-platform storytelling for future seasons of the television show. Despite that, the plan was to have Ubisoft hire its own writer to write the game's script and to develop the game at one of its internal studios. However, TV series writers were to supervise and consult on game design and story. Because Ubisoft would have spent two years developing the game, the game's script wasn't meant to be used as a bridge between seasons. Jesse Alexander said, "We want it to have a lasting shelf-life and tell a distinctive story that gives you enhanced insight into the entire franchise."
