Once upon a time there was a TV series that wasn't self-indulgently confusing and so complicated that people started turning over to watch old episodes of Dexter. That series was called Heroes.

That show also had a video game planned for it by Ubisoft - in fact, that game was confirmed.

Now it's been unconfirmed. At least if a report from MTV is to be believed. It quotes Ubisoft's PR director, Jaime Cottini, saying: "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."

Oh well, at least Ubisoft brought us the Lost video game... thanks for that. Although the Great British public of casual gamers appeared to love it for a week.
