Canon Rumors’ latest: the EOS R8 Mark II may not be Canon’s cheapest full-frame. A second body — CR is calling it the EOS R9 for now — is “said to be coming at some point in 2027.”

Name is a placeholder. Confidence is low. CR: not putting any level of confidence into it, just that it seems plausible. The picture is an unofficial RP-with-an-R9-badge mockup, not a leaked camera.
