Fez 2 is back on, Phil Fish says on April Fool's Day

The canceled Fez sequel is back in development, creator Phil Fish said today on Twitter. Today is April Fool's Day, so it's entirely plausible likely that Fish is only kidding around.

"I'm back! Fez II is back on!" Fish exclaimed on Twitter today. The tweet has been retweeted more than 500 times so far.

Fish announced last summer that he had canceled Fez II and was quitting the video game industry altogether. "I am done. I take the money and I run," Fish said at the time. "This is as much as I can stomach. This is isn’t the result of any one thing, but the end of a long, bloody campaign. You win."

The original Fez, available today on Xbox 360, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita, has sold over 1 million copies.
