Though Fez is not 'technically announced' for XBLA - it's certainly looking like it. Gamevideos have a new video of the music for the game being played live by Jason '6955' DeGroot.

He's previously done soem on the Nintendo Museum videos on several 1up Show specials. You can download the MP3s of those works here.

GDC '08 - Fez unofficially confirmed to come to XBLA?

At the Independant Games Festival there was one game on the tip of everyone's lips - Fez. Developers by The Kokoromi Collective / POLYTRON out of Quebec, this 2D-in-3D platformer ended up winning the Award for Excellence in Visual Art.

Being an Indie developed game, it's now a matter of what it'll end up appearing on - PSN, XBLA, or just PC only? Well Phil Fish - one of the developers - had this to say on the NeoGAF forums:

This version is being made on XNA. Draw your own conclusions.

Dun dun duuuun.

GDC '08 - The 1UP Show brings you more Dishwasher, Bionic Comando, and Indie games!

The 1UP Show is all about GDC, and XBLA / PC indie games is on the tip of everyones tongue. Bionic Commando is also shown, and a look at some currently PC only games such a Fez and OokiBlocks which would be great to see on the XBLA someday!

There's an indie explosion at this year's Game Developers Conference and everyone here at 1UP is raving about our shared experiences with all the great titles in competition at the Independent Games Festival. The 1UP Show delves into the phenomenon during our mid-GDC get-together. Don't worry, we manage to slip in a few 800 lb. gorillas just to flesh things out.

Audiosurf, Dishwasher, Fez, JellyCar, LostWinds, and Ookibloks all make brief appearances for the indie scene in our discussion while the big playas represent with Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Gears of War 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Recoil: Retrograd, and Street Fighter IV.
