EA and DiCE's shooter, Heroes, is getting closer by the day, the publisher's latest release schedule updated to offer word on a summer debut for the new title.

The cartoon-style shooter, which features dramatically over-the-top gameplay, was originally due out last year, but was pushed back as and further polished the game - which they will dish out for free.

Still, all concerned are clearly ramping up to release, the title accruing 75,000 closed beta users.

You can sign-up now for the chance to test the game yourself, should you wish to.
