Fez Confirmed For 2010 Xbox Live Arcade Release

With a friendly graphic (seen below) and a headline screaming FEZ IS COMING TO XBOX LIVE ARCADE EARLY 2010, Polytron has finally confirmed release details for its upcoming puzzle/platformer/indie darling thing.

In the game, a little guy named Gomez will wear a fez and move between 2D and 3D for the purposes of puzzle solving. It won an Excellence In Visual Art award back at the 2008 Independent Games Festival and has been straight blowin' up ever since.

The 2010 date represents a bit of a delay, as it had been previously listed as a 2009 release.

  

Looks retro.

Dude, Im totally in.

I hope we can see some footage soon.

Well I like the graphic.

Even though the game visually looks like a Cave Story ripoff, I'm really glad it's coming to XBLA.  Looking forward to it.

There has been some gameplay footage so far, guys.

It looks really unique. I'm intrigued.

This looks pretty awesome!

I thought this was a Persona 4 FES announcement at first glance. Yellow picture with a TV screen....kinda looks familiar ya know.

YYESSS

And PC, right?!

This better come to the PC.

Good stuff!

AWESOME!

I've been jonesing for this game since it was first showed off in early development at IGF years ago.
I love how XBLA, PSN and to a lesser degree WiiWare are giving these kinds of game a chance to shine

Over to start being psyched about Owlboy then.

looking kind of Cave Story there, Fez.

...If nobody else is gonna do it...

Should've RROD'd the 360 in the pic while you were at it :P

I'm stoked

BoG would be happy

I am pumped for some Fez.

C'mon, be on PC too. I've been wanting to play Fez since I saw the first trailer.

DISAPPOINTED! Thought it meant the improbable Persona 4 FES happened. Guess it looks fine though.

Great looking game, The more IGF shizzle Live gets, the better.

Is this a Tommy Cooper based rhythm shooter game? (hello UK people who understand that bad bad joke.)

I thought it said Persona 4: Fez. Haven't heard of Fez before, heres to hoping.

I'm not too excited for this game, but I would be excited if I could wear a fez on my avatar.

Was I the only one that thought '''Fuck yeah, Persona 4 FES time!!''

2010........ noooo I want it no. Been so long...
  *happy/sad sigh*

this game looks awesome =)

I'm quite excited about this game.

FEZ and yellow color made me think of Persona 4 FEZ, although the Zero Punctuation reference was great ^^

http://vimeo.com/3841540 for the trailer

Been waiting for this for some time now, it looks exciting.

Braid sequel

This is kind of funny now.

This is so good.

PLEASE , BE GREAT !

I'm from the future. Fez doesn't release until 2012. That's all I'll say about the future.

I'm still stuck in 2010! Mass Effect 2 was awesome! Hope Mass Effect 3 is just as great!

is this an XBLA exclusive?

HA

Yeah, I believe it is for now. I wouldn't be surprised if it does pop up on Steam/PSN/etc. eventually, though.

HEHEHEHEHEHE GET IT GUYS?

Confirmed!!

It turns out 2012 is the key year, not 2010. Fez is being released, Persona 3 FES is being re-released digitally, and yes, Persona 4 The Golden is coming.
