Canon announced the EOS R8 Mark II on September 15, about three and a half years after the original R8 went on sale in early 2023. The sensor is the same 24.2MP full-frame chip. The autofocus is the same family. What changed is the stuff R8 owners have complained about since day one: no in-body stabilization, no AF joystick, and a card slot buried next to the battery. The price changed too.
