Ubisoft to publish Heroes Over Europe

Over four months ago, Transmission Games severed all ties to their Heroes Over Europe publisher, Redmile Entertainment, due to breach of contractual obligations. Milestone payments weren't getting paid to the Melbourne studio developing the title, and Redmile was placing blame elsewhere. Things were definitely looking grim for the sequel to IR Guru / Transmission Games' critically acclaimed Heroes over the Pacific flight action game.

But here we are, with Ubisoft announcing that it will be publishing Heroes over Europe, scheduled for worldwide release in September on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and the almighty PC.
