I think it's time to make a new thread for this. HaRyu has been posting updates on this in the Terraria thread, but there's definitely enough information now for it to get a new thread so people can follow the news on this as it develops without sticking their heads into the Terraria thread.
All this information comes from Tiy's twitter account, and he's the graphic designer and sprite artist for Terraria, and he has confirmed that they are working on a new game which is not a Terraria patch.

Information:
- No game title yet, they're aiming for release in mid-2012
- It will be a sandbox game like Terraria, but they're planning to have a main quest in the game as well
- There will be building elements in the game, and they're taking random generation to a whole new level
- Will supposedly be very different from Terraria, and is a mix of diablo, metroid, castlevania, terraria, pokemon, and some other brand new stuff
- Officially it isn't Terraria 2, and Terraria is still ongoing
- There might be an official announcement relatively soon
