In the German forum, somebody posted what appears to be all the names of the Renaissance cards (http://forum.dominion-welt.de/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=1009).
Edit: Apparently the names are real. Here they are:
Kingdom cards:
Acting Troupe, Border Guard, Cargo Ship, Ducat, Experiment, Flag Bearer, Hideout, Improve, Inventor, Lackeys, Mountain Village, Old Witch, Patron, Priest, Recruiter, Research, Scepter, Scholar, Sculptor, Seer, Silk Merchant, Spices, Swashbuckler, Treasurer, Villain
Artifacts:
Flag, Horn, Key, Lantern, Treasure Chest
Projects:
Academy, Barracks, Canal, Capitalism, Cathedral, Citadel, City Gate, Crop Rotation, Exploration, Fair, Fleet, Guildhall, Innovation, Pageant, Piazza, Road Network, Sewers, Silos, Sinister Plot, Star Chart

Hmm, that's interesting. Dominion.games has been a goldmine for these things in the past. The only way I could think to check would be to try the names in the cart art section like this:
https://www.dominion.games/images/cards/art/renaissance/species.jpg
If it returned a 403 instead of a 404 it would be pretty good confirmation that it's out there. I don't know any other way to try to confirm it, and I wouldn't necessarily suggest it. It's fun to poke around in the card art to find the templates ahead of time, but going any further seems unnecessary.
-
Having a card named Piazza seems unlikely to me when we have Plaza. Also, Artefact is missspelled.

Good point. Although I kind of assume he typed those off and might not have cared for Artifact. Hum. I sure hope I didn't fall for a fake here.

Hum, it returns a 404. Dang, now I really want to know where he got that from.

I now want a Communism promo.
I like how, based on previous cards, we can already get a general idea of what stuff will do. Improve looks like a Remodel variant, Inventor may be a gainer or Lab variant, Old Witch probably distributes curses, Research may be Lab-like, one of Horn or Lantern could be a deck inspector.
I can also predict an Age of Empires II joke in the meme thread, and maybe an 'unbridled Capitalism' joke.
-
Can somebody with a better understanding of the site confirm these names or even the actual cards?
Those are the card names; they're in the online program. This was true last year too, but the teaser there was guessing the names so it didn't matter.

Late Capitalism
+1 Card + 1 Action
All players with 6 or fewer cards discard a card.

I’m surprised that there’s no Painter. It was my one real guess in the Bingo thread; but it really did seem like an obvious name for a Renaissance card.

And there never was one. Two people in the bingo thread hit if you count playtested cards that didn't make it.
-
Scepter is probably a Throne Room Variant.
Cathedral is probably the trasher you can't turn off.
Border Guard sounds like some sort of reaction to attacks.
I'm thinking one card is going to follow the path of Goons and Merchant Guild and give +1 Villager for each card you buy. Maybe Lackeys?
Also, nice to know that we now have Spice Merchant, Silk Road, Silk Merchant... and Spices.
-
"Spices" seems a bit strange for a card name. Maybe it's a treasure?
-
I'm guessing Cargo Ship will be a Duration.
-
I'll throw a prediction out there: Lantern will let you be able to look at (at least) the top card of your deck at any time.
-
I will be disappointed of Border Guard isn't an expensive Reaction that you can play out of turn and that gives you a cheaper card on-gain.
-
Border Guard sounds like some sort of reaction to attacks.
Could also be a deck inspector and/or a from-deck trasher.
-
Lackey sounds akin to Minion.
Sinister Plot sounds like an Attack-like effect
-

Likely. That way you could Spice Merchant some Spices.
-
Variety being the Spice of life, Spices perhaps should either cause or reward variety in some Cornucopia-like way.
-
Having a card named Piazza seems unlikely to me when we have Plaza. Also, Artefact is missspelled.
I'm already anticipating we'll get a card called "pizza"! :o

Old Witch
Types: Action
Cost: $6
+4 cards. Reveal a Bane card from your hand. If you do, each other player gains a curse.
Setup: Remove a Kingdom card pile costing $2 or $3 from the Supply. Cards from that pile are Bane cards.
-
Lackey sounds akin to Minion.
Looking forward to German translation here, as Minion has already been translated as "Lakai".

Same in Dutch. Steward has become 'Lakei'.

Hum, I wonder which Artifact goes with which Kingdom card... Border Guard seems like a fit for both Horn and Lantern.

I don't think I ever got an answer about whether or not any artifacts could be gotten by more than 1 card, or vice-versa.
-
In theory they could also be gotten by no card at all if the take-this-Artifact trigger were on the Artifact itself (e.g. something like, when you have 12 or more Coins, take this).
But I guess that anything beyond one Artifact, one card would be too complex for this intentionally simple expansion.

Assuming all Artifacts belong to a Renaissance kingdom card (and not a Project or are cardless), the possibilities for Horn and Lantern are:
Border Guard, Cargo Ship, Hideout, Improve, Inventor, Lackeys, Old Witch, Patron, Research, Scepter, Spices.
My best guess under these assumptions would be Border Guard for Horn, Hideout for Lantern.

Hmmmm... This makes me think Horn is some sort of protection against attacks. Thematically, you blow the horn to warn people invaders are coming.

Lackeys made me think of a tamer version of Goons, perhaps just because of the pluralization.
