Fez II Cancelled

Phil Fish has announced that production has ceased on Fez II.

The news broke on Fish's personal Twitter account, where the developer wrote: "im done. FEZ II is canceled. goodbye."

This was followed shortly by a more formal statement made via the official Polytron account (the company co-founded by Fish in 2008):

It's with a heavy heart that we announce that FEZ II has been cancelled and is no longer in development. We apologize for the disappointment

It's currently unclear why production has ceased on the very recently-announced game (we only found out about Fez II last month). But the announcement was made in the wake of a very public spat Fish was having over Twitter. We're refraining from re-posting these Tweets here, since the argument has not been cited as the reason behind the game's cancellation.

In fact, in a fresh blogpost, Fish says the decision can not be attributed to a single reason and was due more to a cumulative effect: "FEZ II is cancelled. i am done. i take the money and i run. this is as much as i can stomach. this is isn’t the result of any one thing, but the end of a long, bloody campaign. you win."

Are you saddened by this abrupt news?
