Fez (http://www.joystiq.com/game/fez) will get a new patch on Xbox Live Arcade, Polytron founder and Fez creator Phil Fish says in a tweet (https://twitter.com/PHIL_FISH/status/352909409107705856).

Fez has been in need of an update on XBLA since June 2012- Polytron actually released a patch (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/22/fez-patch-released-absolutely-do-not-play-it/) that month that fixed a number of issues in the game, including infinite death loops, but that update caused some save files to read as corrupted. Polytron later re-released the patch (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/18/polytron-bringing-back-fez-patch-wont-fix-save-issues/) without fixing the issue that caused corrupted save files, citing costs from Microsoft (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/20/microsoft-responds-to-polytrons-fez-patch-claims/) running into "tens of thousands of dollars" to issue that first patch.

Fish says the fresh update will take "a few months," but it's on its way. The problems with the first patch affect less than 1 percent of players, Polytron says, but it's a risk that most people would probably rather not take. Fez 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/fez-2/)is in development, but it's not (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/20/fez-2-is-heading-to-not-xbox/) coming to Xbox One or 360, Fish says.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)Fez getting all patched up on XBLA (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/07/04/fez-getting-all-patched-up-on-xbla/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Thu, 04 Jul 2013 20:15:00 EST.
