Fez

Update: Fez Does Not Have A Release Date

[Update] After Joystiq posted a story about a release date for Fez, Polytron's Phil Fish, who is the lead designer and artist behind Fez, spoke to the site and said that the release date is inaccurate and that that game has not been certified by Microsoft.

Fish also spoke up on twitter to make it completely clear that May 2 is not the release date for Fez.

[Original story] We knew it would be this year, but the continually delayed game finally has a solid release date.

For the unfamiliar, Fez was supposed to release back in 2010. It's a 2D platformer that allows perspective switching in 3D to rotate the environment, and it looks awesome.

Fez will be available exclusively on Xbox Live Arcade (for the time being) on May 2.

Fez's game cover tells me enough about its self - old school with a hint of perspective changes.

I look forward to it =)

I would love for this and Bastion to come to PS3.

That is fantastic, and it looks at least for now, it won't be releasing next to anything big that month(Max Payne and Ghost Recon are for totally different audiences). It will be nice to see this little indie title shine.

Yes! Best news in a while! I can't wait for Fez! Now to go sleep for a couple of months.

So excited.

Can't wait! This looks to be another XBLA classic!
by Breaker Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 11:30 AM

That little guy reminds me of Battleblock Theater.... wish that would release :/
by jasonsax Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 11:47 AM

I really hope they put it out on steam!

Looks like Tiny Tower visuals

This is the best news I've heard all month.
by Chromashadow Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 12:10 PM

Now that's good news, I've been waiting to play this one. Also: with that gold block directly over his head, I keep glancing at that image on the homepage and thinking it's Jirachi for a second. If only...
by Boyzby Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 12:15 PM

I kept reading it as Rez for some reason. Maybe I'm just hoping that gets an HD remake or something. XD
I haven't really heard about this game before but it's cool to see another game use the idea of changing perspective sort-of like Super Paper Mario did.
by GoldvsSilver Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 12:22 PM

Finally! After seeing a little gameplay clip in the Indie Game movie trailer, I've really wanted to play this. Bring it on, I'll pay up
by rekoin Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 12:44 PM

Yes, lov eit, and i now have a reason to where my fez
by agentmaine Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 12:44 PM

FEZ IS NOT COMING OUT MAY 2. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. PHIL FISH OFFICIALLY DENIED THIS RELEASE DATE ON TWITTER. Apparently, Microsoft is just being a Dick, Fez is NOT COMING OUT ON MAY 2.
by ynoT0312Taz Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 12:49 PM

i love that arcade games are still going strong.
by PIZZAKING92 Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 12:51 PM

I hope this eventually makes its way to ps3, I want to play this so badly!
