The item itself is not a leak since this is the pre-order bonus you get when you pre-order the game that was announced the day the game was announced at E3 (that and having the hardest difficulty unlocked from the start, which is still a dumb decision in my eyes).
The exact specifics of it are new, though. Let's see what we got. I wonder how this will work since RE7 does have a limited grid inventory ala; RE4.

I don't think so, I'm assuming this is all extra supplies and not official story DLC.

What the heck...
Edit: Dusk Golem says there is nothing to worry about. So there is nothing to worry about.

God damn, I am so friggin stoked for this game. I cannot wait. Depending on the story, I truly think this game is going to deliver the goods.

Either pre order dlc or Microtransactions both of which gaf will make a big deal out of most likely. Considering I suck in these games I'll take that health pack lol

If it's pre-order stuff, whatever.
If it's a sign of microtransactions, it should be made a big deal, because it is .
I see no herbs..I only see two very small pine trees.
I'm talking about herbs, the red green yellow blue ones you mix into a very large one.

Plenty of other games give you common items as a pre-order incentive. It's not unheard of.

There are green herbs in that picture, and since there are other RE stuff in there there's likely other colored herbs too. Since the game isn't third person they're designing things differently.
Presumably a boost for the beginning of the game.

Yep. But people will spin this and think it means there's microtransactions.

THIS IS THE GAMES PRE-ORDER INCENTIVE.
The Survival Pack was literally announced the day RE7 was revealed, it even says it on every RE7 pre-order site, "Pre-order now and get the Survival Pack!". It even says on the page linked in the OP this is what you get for pre-ordering.
Capcom announced all the DLC RE7 will have on the day it was announced. There are a total of three DLC pieces, and this is one of them which is also the pre-order bonus. The other two DLCs are:
-4 short story gameplay segments which will be completed and released a few months after launch.
-1 additional story chapter that will be completed and released a few months after launch.
These all also come with the Deluxe Edition of the game, but the Survival Pack listed here is a pre-order item. What's new is the exact nature of what the pre-order items include, and they are items from the game since we've already seen the green herbs and coin in the game (though the coin is a bit of a mystery).

Okay, so here's what I got from all of this. I went back to read what Capcom said about the Survival Pack.
ACCORDING TO THEM, the Survival Pack's purpose seems to give players who want to start on the hardest available difficulty an edge, since its items that start off in your inventory, and pre-ordering does unlock the hardest difficulty from the outset. IN FACT, APPARENTLY THE SURVIVAL PACK IS ONLY USABLE IN THE HARDEST DIFFICULTY OF THE GAME. That's what every pre-order page is saying, the Survival Pack is for use on the game's hardest difficulty, which is unlocked from the start when you pre-order. Capcom also emphasized nothing in the pack is exclusive to the pack, it's basically an early item collection for those who want to dive into the hardest difficulty blind so they can stand a fighting chance (I'm assuming from this items carry over from playthroughs ala' RE5-style when going on harder difficulties then in New Game+).

What a lame as preorder pack. Made this for the REgaf thread, but it reminds me of basically starting the game like this. Couldn't imagine preordering REmake or RE0 with an extra Red/Green Herb and Box of pistol bullets.
I do think that the coins are for items to unlock however. So the actual use of these preorder packs are probably related to the coins that we know nothing about. I doubt they're tied to a merchant style character. I would bet on weapons, costumes, or something along that line. Some sort of bonus content is what coins are used for is my guess.
Still further baffles me why a hard mode is a preorder pack. It's not even enticing. I'll unlock that after playing on normal anyway.
If your game is good i'm going to go back and play it more than once. The % of people who are going to start on the highest difficulty is so small it's kind of ridiculous to talk it up to get preorders.
Really feels like it was the only thing they could think of as preorder DLC because they just had to have SOMETHING.

Resident evil, the true horror is that there are now... microtransactions.
trying/failing to make fun of people who complain about microtransactions
Preorders unlocking the hardest difficulty early is the real questionable thing here.
Either your hard difficulty is balanced for brand new players or not. If it's okay for new comers to attempt then it should be unlocked right from the beginning for everyone.
