One of the writers did a stream at the start of EA in which he said they were planning on 8 companions and possibly more. Here is the summary on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/jd1qsq/highlights_from_kevin_vanords_stream/.

"They plan to have eight companions, possibly more, and potentially including companions that won't be origin characters"

Interesting wording, I wonder if he said "eight origin characters" or "eight companions". I agree with Saito, at this point I think it would be wise to take everything with a grain of salt. Hopefully we'll know more soon!
