Right now there isn't even an official confirmation whether they will or will not continue the anime as far as I know, much less a release date.

Hiro Mashima only said that he's working on some anime project without saying what it is.

So while we are all quite sure there will be a continuation of the anime, technically that is just speculation at this point.

Speaking of release dates, did they give out a release date for the movie yet?
