The rumor site 43rumors has an article that evidently an E-PL8 will be announced soon: http://www.43rumors.com/ft5-first-pictures-of-the-new-olympus-e-pl8/#disqus_thread

From the pictures, it looks like the E-PL8 will be similar in size to the E-PM2.

Nope. It's almost exactly the same size as E-PL7.

Looks like Oly gave up on the idea of a really tiny ILC. And after Panasonic raised the bar so high with GM series, I really doubt Olympus would have anything to offer. And I'm not sure if the market for that is big enough to sustain two competing makers. I guess we'll know soon enough. If GM5 is the last of its line, then that means the market was too small for even one player. And all we'll have will be those GF type point and shooty bodies. Which will be sad.
