Despite the supply chain issues, it's reported that Apple is still on track to launch the iPhone 14 series in mid-September. The tech giant didn't mention anything about pandemic-related delays in the earnings report for the June quarter, so everything should still be going well.

Diablo Immortal has been released for quite some time globally but not in the regions of Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macao, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand).

Despite that many smartphones are rumoured to feature the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ made by TSMC, the chip could still face delay. According to reputable tipster Digital Chat Station, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ would only arrive by the second half of 2022.

The Sony PlayStation VR is almost a 6-year-old device after launching in 2016. Back in January, the company had announced the plan for presenting the successor and showcased the design a month later. Although Sony didn't specify anything regarding the official launch date, many have chosen to believe it will sit somewhere this year. However, it might not be true, as someone claims it'll only come in 2023.

Delays aren't rare when it comes to the games industry. There are plenty of games with confirmed release dates but still got delayed for various reasons, including big titles like Cyberpunk 2077. But many didn't expect the latest Final Fantasy XIV expansion to be delayed.

Today, Electronics Arts (EA) has announced that they have delayed the plan to launch Apex Legends on mobile devices to a further date.

As we're getting closer to the launch date of Sony PlayStation 5, many are worried if the gaming console is going to make it on time. As announced by Sony, the upcoming PS5 is supposed to be launched in the U.S. on 12 November and elsewhere on 19 November. However, the Internet has found out that the "Launches in holiday 2020" text has been taken down from most South East Asian sites.

Big fans of CD Projeck Red (CDPR) were recently disappointed when the developer announced that its next big game was being delayed. The release date of Cyberpunk 2077 has been moved to 19 November 2020, making this the second time it's been delayed. But it's not all bad news, as this delay could coincide with the launch of next-gen consoles.

Once again, the makers of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, CD Projekt Red is delaying their upcoming anticipated Triple-A title game, Cyberpunk 2077 again.

The company have released an official statement just a few hours ago to address their actions.

The unrest currently happening in the USA isn't something that people can just brush off and it has caused many online events and conferences to be cancelled.
