Polytron Corporation terminate the sequel to their best-selling product just months into development.Polytron Corporation have today announced the cancellation of their upcoming video game project Fez II. Announced at E3 2013 as being in development, the sequel to 2012's beloved platforming downloadable indie title was reportedly set for release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 later this year.
Fez's creator Phil Fish yesterday took to Twitter to state that "[he] is done" with both the Fez video game franchise and indeed with the industry as a whole. The move comes after GamesIndustry.biz ran a video feature with some satirical comments on Fish and his work, although it seems unlikely that this video was the sole contributory element in Fish's election to depart the industry, rather that the strains of development proved too much and necessitated a re-think of the developer's time.
For all the latest news on indie video game projects releasing on the next-generation of consoles, keep it On-Screen in the weeks ahead!
