Square Enix has joyously announced that the iconic JRPG, Chrono Trigger, has reached its remarkable 30-year milestone. To celebrate this significant anniversary, the company has teased a series of upcoming projects set to be released over the next year. While the exact nature of these projects remains under wraps, the announcement hints at endeavors that may extend beyond the game itself, sparking curiosity and excitement among fans.
The news has ignited fervent speculation among the Chrono Trigger community, with many long-time enthusiasts eagerly anticipating a comprehensive remaster or a modern console release. Despite its revered status as one of the most cherished JRPGs ever created, the game has yet to receive a full-fledged remake or a re-release on PlayStation beyond the PS1 port back in 1999. Over the years, it has found its way to PC and mobile platforms, but a definitive modern version remains a dream yet to be realized. Square Enix's history of revisiting its classics keeps the hope alive, though.
In the meantime, fans can look forward to a special event: a livestream concert featuring the legendary soundtrack of Chrono Trigger. This concert will be available to watch on YouTube on March 14th, starting at 7:00 p.m. PT and continuing until early the next morning. This event promises to be a nostalgic celebration of the game's iconic music.
For those new to the saga, Chrono Trigger is an epic time-traveling RPG developed by a legendary team, including Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy, Yuji Horii, the mastermind behind Dragon Quest, and the renowned Dragon Ball artist Akira Toriyama. Originally released in 1995 for the Super Famicom and SNES, the game follows the protagonist Crono and his companions as they traverse different eras, from a prehistoric world teeming with dinosaurs to a dystopian future threatened by an alien force. Players recruit allies, alter the course of history, and face one of the most memorable final bosses in gaming history.
As Chrono Trigger celebrates its 30th anniversary, while there is no official word yet on a remake or console port, Square Enix's statement leaves room for future possibilities. Fans are encouraged to stay updated by following the game's official X page for the latest news on what's coming next.
