Square Enix has announced that the iconic JRPG, *Chrono Trigger*, has reached its 30-year milestone. This milestone is being celebrated with a series of projects slated to be unveiled over the next year. Although the specifics of these projects remain under wraps, the language used hints that they might encompass more than just the game itself.
This announcement has ignited a wave of speculation among fans, many of whom have long yearned for a comprehensive remaster or a release on modern consoles. Despite its reputation as one of the most cherished JRPGs ever, *Chrono Trigger* has yet to see a full-fledged remake or a re-release on PlayStation beyond the 1999 PS1 port.
While the game has been made available on PC and mobile platforms, a definitive modern version continues to elude fans. Given Square Enix's history of revisiting their classic titles, there remains a glimmer of hope. However, the only confirmed event for the anniversary is a special livestream concert featuring the game's legendary soundtrack. This concert is scheduled to air 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 title, *Chrono Trigger* is a monumental time-traveling RPG developed by a stellar team including Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy, Yuji Horii, the mind behind Dragon Quest, and Akira Toriyama, the artist famous for Dragon Ball.
Originally launched in 1995 for the Super Famicom and SNES, the game follows protagonist Crono and his allies as they traverse various epochs—from a prehistoric dinosaur-filled world to a dystopian future dominated by an alien force. Players will recruit companions, manipulate history, and confront one of the most memorable final bosses in video game history.
The 30th anniversary marks a significant moment for *Chrono Trigger*, and though there's no official word on a remake or console port yet, Square Enix's statement leaves room for anticipation. Stay tuned to *Chrono Trigger*'s X page for the latest updates on what's in store.
