Exactly. It's going to be explained. So far, it's a loose bit of information. It's possible "Universe 8" is just the alias of the returned Marvel Universe with some included parts from other realities. But it would still be Earth-616 per se.

Secondly, numerous sources have stated that the Marvel Universe will be returned, not gone. It's not a new universe.
