Mobile game after the "Heroes" TV show

Gameloft has just announced the release of Heroes: The Official Mobile Game, based on NBC's most talked about television series. The game also brings players a sneak peak on what season two of the movie will have to bring to its fans.

The Season Two spoiler is available only through the mobile game, challenging players to play it in order to locate a hidden room that contains a secret. This reveals a long-standing mystery from the popular TV series. This might even be considered more important than finishing the game, overall. The challenge increases, as the player's lack of attention might make him complete the game without discovering the Second Season spoiler.

This makes a witty strategy that will involve the true fans of the TV series even more than in the past and also arouse their interest on the show's sequel. "We are always looking for organic ways to extend the Heroes story in the transmedia landscape," said Tim Kring, creator and executive producer of "Heroes". Moreover, "The Gameloft project afforded us a perfect opportunity to begin revealing an important Season Two story point before it actually hits the television screen", he further added.

The game has been written in collaboration with the show's writers. Because of this, the storyline includes some of the best moments from Season One, depicting the lives of ordinary people who discover they have extraordinary abilities. Players can transform into Heroes that try to save the world throughout 11 levels and in four different locations: New York City, future New York City, a museum and Las Vegas.

In its first season, "Heroes" received the People's Choice Award, an AFI Award, a Multicultural Prism Award and this year's TV Land Future Classic Award and the TV Critics Association Awards' Outstanding Program of the Year, which confirmed its value. Heroes: The Official Mobile Game is available now through most U.S. carriers to challenge all fans who want to enjoy all the entertainment solutions that it has to bring.
