Closed ALPHA testing was announced to begin on March 11 (invites to be sent on the 1st). Going by this schedule, we're looking at a release date around August/September/October most likely.

Rumor has it there was also a new trailer at the event, though there is nothing to prove that as of now. If there was one, I'm sure it will surface sometime this week.
Edit: Apparently, the alpha test is starting and not the beta test. Hurray for SE not giving the full details during the initial announcement.
