Pete Lau revealed that the company has decided to not launch the OnePlus 8T Pro this year. Furthermore, he went on to say that the OnePlus 8 Pro is a standalone premium flagship and no addition to the series is required this year.

This indicates that the OnePlus 8T will be the only flagship offering by the company for now. Furthermore, although the company has hinted at a new OnePlus Nord series smartphone, the launch date has not been confirmed as of now.
