Square Enix has proudly announced that the iconic JRPG, Chrono Trigger, has reached its 30-year milestone. To celebrate this significant anniversary, the company has teased the release of various projects throughout the upcoming year. Although specifics remain under wraps, the nature of the announcement hints at initiatives that could extend beyond the game itself.
This news has ignited excitement and speculation within the fan community, many of whom have longed for a comprehensive remaster or a modern console release. Despite being hailed as one of the greatest JRPGs ever, Chrono Trigger has not yet seen a full-fledged remake or a re-release on PlayStation platforms beyond the 1999 PS1 port.
Over the years, the game has found its way to PC and mobile platforms, but a definitive modern edition is still eagerly awaited. While Square Enix has a history of revisiting its classic titles, fans are left to anticipate what might come. In the meantime, a special anniversary event is confirmed—a livestream concert featuring Chrono Trigger's legendary soundtrack. This concert will be available to watch on YouTube starting March 14th at 7:00 p.m. PT and will continue into the early hours of the next morning.
For those new to the title, Chrono Trigger is an epic time-traveling RPG developed by an all-star team including Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy, Yuji Horii of Dragon Quest fame, and the renowned Dragon Ball artist 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 dinosaur-filled era to a dystopian future dominated by an alien force. Players will recruit allies, manipulate history, and face off against one of gaming's most memorable final bosses.
Marking its 30th anniversary is a monumental occasion for Chrono Trigger. While there's no confirmed news of a remake or a new console port yet, Square Enix's announcement keeps the possibilities open. Stay tuned to Chrono Trigger's X page for the latest updates on what's to come.
