OnePlus Watch launch has been indefinitely delayed: Report

OnePlus has been surprisingly open about the fact that it's developing a smartwatch, to jump into the hotly growing wearables market competing with Vivo, Oppo, Realme, and of course, Apple. Company executives have confirmed that the watch is under works, and we even got an update that it's going to ready soon at the OnePlus 8T launch event. Now, reports suggest there might still be some time before the launch.

According to the report, the smartwatch project has been "indefinitely delayed", which does not sound good. The smartwatch was tipped to release in October, but tipster Max J said the OnePlus Watch announcement has been delayed without a new date.

"A few weeks ago, I announced that the OnePlus Watch would be presented in October, but according to the latest information from multiple sources, there are some changes regarding the launch... According to my information, the OnePlus Watch announcement has been postponed without any new date. Now I don’t know the reasons for this step, but my guess is that there are some complications with production or software development," the tipster wrote.

By the looks of it, the OnePlus Watch may have run into issues in production or software development, which is why there is no new date for the launch. At least till OnePlus is able to fix them. If the issues are critical and complicated, fixing them could take weeks, and with the holiday season incoming, that might mean the watch may ultimately be launched next year.

Previous reports around the OnePlus Watch shows the shape and design is inspired heavily by the Vivo Watch that launched in China earlier this year. There are also rumours that it will use the latest Snapdragon 4100 Wear Platform, but nothing much outside of that.

OnePlus has been aggressively expanding beyond smartphones. After dabbling with flagships for the better part of its existence, the company expanded into earphones, and now a TWS. The company also has three smartTVs in its portfolio and three budget smartphones for the global market. The OnePlus Watch sounds quite logical for a company that now aspires to cater to more niches in consumer electronics.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed to December 10, 2020

Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed yet again. The game was originally set to release on April 16, 2020, and was subsequently delayed to November 19, 2020. Now the developer of the game, CD Projekt Red has announced that the game has been delayed yet again by 21 days and will now release on December 10, 2020. 

Those that have recently jumped on the Cyberpunk hype-train should know that the game was originally announced back in 2012 with the first teaser trailer releasing in January 2013. When the first trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 released, the tagline at the end of the video said the game will release “when it's done”. Clearly, the developers are holding onto that thought. It is very likely that the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused more people to work from home, has also led to unforeseen difficulties in the development cycle of the game. The studio has also been in crunch mode for some time now, working overtime to ensure the game releases on time.

In a statement, CD Projekt Red says that the biggest challenge is shipping the game for the current and next-gen consoles along with the PC at the same time. This means that the game needs to be ready for 9 machines at launch. This includes the Xbox One, Xbox One X, PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS5, PC and Stadia. That’s a lot, especially when you consider the scope and scale of the game.

In early October, CD Projekt Red announced that Cyberpunk 2077 had gone gold. This means that the game was playable from start to finish and ready for printing on discs. The newly announced delay not only brings to question the concept of a game going gold but also the significance and improvements brought by the day one patch. 

The silver lining on this bad news is that November is full of AAA game launches along with the upcoming Xbox Series X and PS5, making it a jam-packed month for gaming.
