Biohazard Declassified has reported that they received an email with details of Resident Evil 8, they present it solely as a rumour and claim to hold no information themselves on RE8.
The email was received from an email address that is close to another person who correctly leaked some details of Project Resistance on GameFAQs 10 months ago, 6 months before Project Resistance was revealed. This doesn't necessarily mean they are the same person, however.
The details:
Nibel corroborated that this is along the lines of what they've been hearing too by also posting about it on Twitter:
Again, this is all a rumour, so potentially made up.

New info dump.
As always, take it with a grain of salt, these are merely rumors as of now:
https://www.relyonhorror.com/latest...mors-zombies-witches-and-wolf-like-creatures/
– the rumor that the game had been scrapped and development started over (several times) is wrong
– discussions about the logo design and if the game has an "8" in the title are useless at this point since things can still change a lot
– release is maybe in 1.5 – 2 years
– setting: Eastern Europe or an adjacent country to that area
– village & a snowy landscape
– castle, but it's smaller than the one from RE4
– medieval setting and enemy designs
– not actual werewolves, but wolf-like creatures
– one or more witches will be hunting Ethan
– even though it sounds like the Hookman from 3.5, it's something new
– zombies are wearing knight armor & wield swords
– more action-heavy than 7, closer to Not a Hero gameplay-wise
– director has been with Capcom for a while & didn't change/leave (correction from previous post)
– director was previously a behind the scenes executive producer who directed one game
– maybe you can find out who it is – Chris returns, but with a twist
– no spoilers here, but a hint in the video's outro (no German skills needed to understand it) "No, it can't be! Why you?!"

*Update*
For the record, this is the Resident Evil 8 that got rebooted. This got tested earlier this year to see what they could pull from it after they decided to reboot it.

According to the email, sent by [email protected]*
(interesting side note a user named The_Deep_Tyrant on GameFAQs was the first to leak Project Resistance, though we can't confirm that the two are related), the sender believes the following will be in RE8
The details:
- Ethan will be returning as a playable character.
- Resident Evil 8 was tested last year.
- It will not be called Resident Evil 8, but will have a "clever title"
- The game will be in First-person like RE7.
- Gameplay starts in a village leading up to a castle.
- The environment will be rural, snowy, and mountainous; possibly Europe.
- Regular zombies will be appearing instead of the Molded from RE7.
- There is a persistent shadowy "female" enemy that will follow you but will dissipate if shot.
- There are also wolf-like creatures that will attack the player in certain areas.
- Chris Redfield will also be returning in some capacity.
Again, this is all a rumour, so potentially made up.
