Fez 2 has been cancelled by Polytron.

The puzzle adventure game sequel - announced by the developer at the E3 Expo in June - is "no longer in development", it has been confirmed.

Polytron revealed on its official Twitter account: "It's with a heavy heart that we announce that FEZ II has been cancelled and is no longer in development. We apologize for the disappointment."

Creator Phil Fish later revealed on Twitter that he had cancelled the project in order to leave the games industry, tweeting: "that to be clear, im not cancelling FEZ II because some boorish f**k said something stupid, im doing it to get out of games.

"and im getting out of games because i choose not to put up with this abuse anymore (sic)."

The original Fez was released in April 2012 after a development period of almost five years and a number of delays. It sold over 200,000 copies in its first year on Xbox Live Arcade.

Shortly after Fez 2 was announced, Fish confirmed that the game would not be released on Xbox One or Xbox 360 because of Microsoft's stance on independent developers.
