This date seems a little more solid this time

Update: ... Or maybe not. Seems the release date posted on Xbox.com is not the actual release date as Phil Fish has noted to Joystiq. Just as we've done to this point, we'll be sure to give you release date details as they become available.

Original Story
Remember Polytron Corporation's Fez? Well, you probably should - it's the indie-darling that's actually been in existence since 2008, which we first brought to your attention with a gameplay trailer last March.

Fez was initially slated for a 2010 release on the Xbox LIVE Arcade before getting pushed back to 2011. Then, sadly, the game was once again delayed, this time to an 'Early 2012' window.

Now, we have another release date to share with you, but given that the source for this is the game's Xbox.com page, we're pretty sure this date is likely to stick. For those of you who have been anxiously awaiting your opportunity to try this unique XBLA platformer, your day will come on May 2nd, 2012.

Quite a slip. I hope that Polytron will be able to recoup the costs for the extended development.

Not my type of game. Looks like it should be a 400 msp release, I'm sure it will be 800, but if it dares be 1200 I would fall down laughing.

You obviously have no idea the costs that go into developing an indie video game. 800 points is a fair and reasonable price for this game.

I wonder what is causing the delays. At least it's still coming out

I will admit I'm judging the game by a joystiq screenshot only.

I wouldn't buy it for 400 to be honest.

I think we can start calling this vaporware.

You obviously have no idea the costs that go into developing an indie video game. 800 points is a fair and reasonable price for this game.I would definitely agree, the amount of time required to build a title from scratch is huge, if the game is quality & a lot of time and effort has gone into it I am more than happy to pay up to 1200MSP.If the developers create a great product then they should be compensated for it.

You can tell this will be a mind bender, that first level itself looks to be quite tricky, the ratio on this is going to be up there for sure!

Ah man, that's disappointing. I hope it'll come out eventually.
