Heroes Reborn, airing September 24, takes place five years after the end of the first show when Claire Bennet revealed her powers to the world, making the public aware of super-powered people. From what we’ve learned about Heroes Reborn, apparently the public didn’t respond too positively, so now people with powers are feared and hunted.The two games act as a prequel to Heroes Reborn and share an overarching story by two writers on the show, overseen by Heroes creator Tim Kring. Key characters and plots will link the two games, so while you can play them separately, Heroes lovers can play both to get a richer experience.Heroes Reborn: Gemini will be available on consoles and PC and is a first-person action-adventure game where the player controls new character Cassandra, age 20, who uses localized time-travel powers and telekinesis to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. In a gameplay video, we saw her exploring an abandoned facility and come across a locked door. She used her power to peer into the past to read a piece of paper with a code, which she used in the present to unlock the door. We also saw her lift up a piece of debris, travel to the past with it, and then hurl it at an enemy to knock them out.Heroes Reborn: Enigma is a first-person action-puzzle game for mobile/tablet built on the Unreal 4 engine. It follows Cassandra’s younger sister Dahlia, 14, who uses her powers to escape a secret government facility called The Quarry. We didn’t see any gameplay of Enigma. Dahlia will be making a cameo appearance in the Heroes Reborn show, which the biggest tie these games have to the show that we know of so far.The game designers made it a goal of theirs to make sure that the mobile game was a full experience by itself.“There are a lot of games that come out these days where they have a key mobile app that kind of tags onto the game in a minor way, and that's not the case here,” game designer Brad Santos told us in an interview. “Our mobile game, Enigma, is a very strong, standalone product that tells its own story and is really a complete experience in itself. But also, it ties back nicely to our core game, which is Gemini, and the TV series."Headed by Kring’s Imperative Entertainment, both games are designed by Phosphor, maker of the hit game Horn and licensed games Man of Steel, WWE Immortals, and Nether.A full trailer for the games will be unveiled on Sunday, July 12th at NBC’s Heroes panel at San Diego Comic-Con.For full details on the development of the game and what to expect, check out our interview with Kring, Santos, and Imperative’s Zak Kadison on the next page.
