The sneaky observant 20:20 vision folks over at the Playstation Lifestyle blog noticed something special in the background of one of the photos on the Media Molecule Flickr Stream - a big whiteboard with what appears to be the cheese patch release schedule.
The text doesn't tell us *much* more than we already knew, and knowing this industry, this is about as reliable as that guy that stood you up last year, HOWEVER, and it's rare for us to warrant the use of all caps like that, the board does contain some UBER SECRETS. See there we go again.

If this board is to believed, Online Create is scheduled to appear along with Cornish Yarg, officially scheduled for mid-March, and some new previously unknown patches have appeared.
The new patches are named Jarlsberg, a mild cow's-milk cheese with large irregular holes, which appears to contain something related to British Sci-Fi Comic 2000AD, and Stinking Bishop, a soft washed-rind cheese, that will contain something known as the "Arcade Pack".
One interesting note is that just out of sight we can see 1.08, which is listed as a data pack rather than a code pack, a patch we know contained only costumes. The 2000AD Jarlsberg patch is also listed as a data patch hmmmmmmm.
Your guesses are as as good as ours, but many, many things spring instantly to mind as to what these patches could contain, especially for the Arcade Pack - leave your thoughts in the comments!
Many thanks to everyone who sent this in - Barnsey313, Stalking Silence, CJSgamer, and MrGrey from LittleBigLand.
[UPDATE]
Media Molecule have now removed the photo from their photo stream, adding it to their private collection. However, you can see the original photo of 'super-serious' Media Molecule Art Director Kareem Ettouney here. For camera meta-data nerds, the photo was taken on January 23rd at 18:21 with a Panasonic DMC-LX3 at a shutter speed of 10/500 at f/2.8, 400 iso, although that information is truly gratuitous.
