Fez 2 has been cancelled, according to Phil Fish
The news was originally posted via Twitter with the statement: “It’s with a heavy heart that we announce that FEZ 2 has been cancelled and is no longer in development. We apologize for the disappointment.”
A statement handed to Joystiq by Phil Fish confirmed it was, indeed, cancelled.
Fez 2 was announced during the Horizon Indie Game Conference at E3.
While Phil Fish wasn’t there to make the announcement, the logo for the in-development title was shown, and no other details were provided at the time.
After E3, Fish said the reason Polytron chose to make sequel as opposed to something new entirely, was because he wanted to go back to that world.
“It is an entirely new game. FEZ 2 is to FEZ 1 what Zelda 2 was to Zelda 1, but more different,” he said. “The biggest reason is that I just wanted to go back to that world. I want to expand on my little world and its mythology. It’s not a case of wanting to recycle ideas we didn’t get to put in FEZ 1.
“Since the games are going to be so different, there’s not a whole lot that could just carry over.”
Fish’s Twitter account doesn’t state any reason for the cancellation as far as I can tell, as his tweets are now protected after a Twitter dust-up earlier – which we will not be posting unless Fish confirms this was the reason Fez 2 was cancelled. If you want to see the drama that unfolded for yourself, you can find it easily enough.
But according to a statement posted on Polytron, the cancellation wasn’t the result of any “one thing.”
“Fez 2 is cancelled. I am done. I take the money and I run. This is as much as I can stomach. This isn’t the result of any one thing, but the end of a long, bloody campaign. You win.”

Then why make a post if you are not going to contribute anything useful?
You just did what you told him not to do....
He didn't tell him to not do anything. 97% of 'TTG' users = dumb.

MW2-Rush I've heard of this game before, didn't look very fun, so I never bought it! :/
I originally thought that Fez wouldn't be much fun either. I decided to pick it up for the hell of it and it ended up being a fair lot of fun.

Requirement This game looked decent, too bad it got cancelled.
The first one was pretty fun and i wouldn't of minded a second. It's a shame that it was cancelled

-Live This game is beautiful and I **** hate those people trashing on him. Phil Fish was a douche but he was a smart man who was very creative. This is why sometimes I hate this industry.
It just seems like it is all so political

Are you kidding? I'm giving my input of that I've never heard of it. This gives the notion that this is an unpopular game and it's free to replies that can open a bigger discussion. I've seen some pretty useless stuff here so I don't see why you call me out on it. If you would open your mind about things maybe you could see the reason why I posted that comment, or why other people post the comment about not hearing about it either. I don't see why you pick me to reply when there's about 10 other people below me that commented just about the same thing.....useful enough Hoxton?
