It doesn't say anything special, and it has a very stupid infographic with it. The only piece of info that is new is that they have 1.1M registered accounts.

In this case though, this launch date means we are gonna get UI 2.0, factions, leaderboards, achievements and a few more meaningful fixes by that date. I guess it's just a self-imposed deadline which ends up being good for us because it forces them to speed up the meaningful updates.
