Ubisoft has decided not to publish a game based on TV show Heroes.
The firm issued a statement to MTV revealing that it has handed the rights to the title, which was due for release this year, back to NBC Universal.
It said: "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."
The cancellation is thought to be in response to poor viewing figures and the negative critical reaction to season three of the cult show.
Ubisoft has previously made games based on programmes such as Lost and CSI.

I',m glad they decided not to make it. It would fail horribly.
