According to Twitter user EVIL VR, a few interesting details about Resident Evil 8 has been leaked lately.

In case you are looking for credibility of the source, Evil VR apparently Tweeted about 30 minutes "1-Shot" Demo before it was revealed. Latest revealed details are not out of place either if you have been following up since RE7.
Resident Evil 2 was initially dubbed Resident Evil 1.5 and scrapped after 60% of development was done. Costume of female protagonist Elza Walker from that build is added in Deluxe and Collector's Edition of RE2 as a skin for Claire Redfield.

Similarly, early concept of Resident Evil 4 was made into Devil May Cry and another version was canned for technical limitations. Concepts of an enemy with a metal hook labeled as Hook Man from RE 3.5 may also be adapted to next game.
Capcom originally planned for Leon Kennedy to get infected by a virus that would cause him to suffer from hallucinations and see ghostly apparitions in RE4, which will likely be borrowed to Resident Evil 8 from the Hook Man version.

Evil VR also added that developers are exploring origin of Eveline and other theory but they won't complete RE8 before Resident Evil 3 Remake. Although open to more remakes, Capcom is not interested in a remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica.

Despite all rumors for Capcom to overhaul Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, they noted that success of Resident Evil 2 Remake will determine future of a follow-up project. Judging by fan response, it is pretty safe to expect Nemesis to come chasing.
For now, we advise you to take this news with a grain of salt since none of these are from official source but then again, don't you think gameplay mechanics of RE2 blending into Biohazard saga would be an awesome experience?

#RE8: From what I can gather, the setting for 8 will take place in an recently-abandoned island where the secret laboratory is located. The story so far is to uncover the truth behind the creation of Eveline and more of similar bio-weapons. (1/2)— EVIL VR (@EvilVR) January 28, 2019
#RE8: (2/2) Some concepts from 3.5 (hook-man) will be borrowed for 8. Hallucinations will play a big part, getting players confused on what’s real or not. Still early but so far they’ve listed what they need for #RE8— EVIL VR (@EvilVR) January 28, 2019

Also heard that Capcom will not launch #RE8 before launching #RE3Remake. No words if #RECV is even considered to be remade. Fans should also expect that Capcom has no interest in remaking or even retconning #RE4, #RE5 & #RE6. Two games are being focused on are 3 Remake & 8.— EVIL VR (@EvilVR) January 27, 2019
