THERE IS NO DEFINITE DATE FOR THE RELEASE OF CONTRA 008, OR EVEN AN APPROXIMATE ESTIMATION. THERE IS NO OFFICIAL DATE. YOU CAN DECIDE YOURSELF BASED ON THE DATA BELOW.
I'm going to list it in the style of loading bars, so it'll be easier to understand.
Contra 008 Actual Mod Progress:
[████████████████████] - 94%
In Alpha 2 stage of testing and bug-fixing
Alpha 3 stage of testing is about to begin.

[████████████████████] - 70%
Campaigns are moving on at a standard pace once more. Focus now is to revise missions created long time ago and update them with new models/balance.
New Contra 008 Web Site
[███████████████████] █ - 95%
New site is up and running, complete.
Link is not yet changed on Contra forum link, some errors in site.
Contra 008 Trailers
[████████████████████] - 100%
GLA Trailer - DONE
China Trailer - DONE
USA Trailer - DONE
100%. All Trailers are done and completed. There will be no more for the time being.
Models and skins
[███████████████████████] - 80%
Dropped percentage dramatically because of many new models and units that are being re-done, re-skinned, or just new units being added to the game. MANY MANY MANY new units to come soon, tons of units are being re-modeled.
