'Fez II' abruptly canceled after developer Phil Fish explodes in rage on Twitter

Posted by Gladis Harcrow on Saturday, June 1, 2024

Phil Fish, the creator of celebrated indie video game Fez, is notorious for voicing angry, controversial opinions about the state of video games and their development. Today, however, he seems to have ragequit on the entire video gaming community, and has taken the sequel to Fez down with him. On his Twitter account and on developer Polytron's website, Fish has announced that Fez II has been canceled.

Polygon and Joystiq both independently confirmed with Fish that it's not a joke: the game is no more. Developer Polytron also confirmed the cancellation in a tweet to its followers, writing "we apologize for the disappointment."

"Compare your life to mine and then kill yourself."

The argument culminated with Fish writing "im done. FEZ II is canceled. goodbye," and locking his Twitter account.

Phil Fish's struggles to bring the original Fez to market were chronicled in Indie Game: The Movie, a documentary film which debuted last summer.
