Square Enix has proudly announced that Chrono Trigger, one of the most cherished JRPGs, has reached its 30-year milestone. To celebrate this significant anniversary, Square Enix is gearing up to unveil various projects over the next year. While the specifics of these projects remain under wraps, the company's announcement hints that they could extend beyond just the game, sparking excitement and speculation among the fanbase.
For decades, fans have eagerly awaited a comprehensive remaster or a modern console release of Chrono Trigger. Although the game has seen versions on PC and mobile platforms, a definitive modern edition has yet to materialize. Despite this, Square Enix's history of revisiting its classic titles keeps hope alive for such a release.
In the meantime, the only confirmed event for the anniversary is a special livestream concert featuring Chrono Trigger's legendary soundtrack. This concert will be broadcast on YouTube on March 14th at 7:00 p.m. PT and will continue into the early hours of the next morning.
For those new to the franchise, Chrono Trigger is an epic time-traveling RPG developed by a dream team including Final Fantasy's Hironobu Sakaguchi, Dragon Quest's Yuji Horii, and Dragon Ball's Akira Toriyama. Originally launched in 1995 for the Super Famicom and SNES, the game follows protagonist Crono and his companions as they traverse different time periods, from a prehistoric world of dinosaurs to a dystopian future dominated by an alien force. Throughout their journey, players recruit allies, manipulate history, and confront one of gaming's most memorable final bosses.
This 30th anniversary marks a monumental moment for the game, and while there's no official word on a remake or console port yet, Square Enix's statement suggests the possibility remains open. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to Chrono Trigger's X page for the latest updates on upcoming projects.
