I'm like 99% sure now RE8 is at the PS5 reveal event. As others noticed, all the RE games went on sale yesterday, & RE7 in particular went on the deepest discount it's EVER had by a long shot, around the same time the PS5 reveal event was supposed to happen yesterday. So yeah.

A new version of Resident Evil 8 is now on development, but it has less than a year according to Dusk Golem. It seems that the leaker doesn’t have more information about RE8, he says “Don’t be surprised if I don’t respond to specific question”
