Square Enix is thrilled to announce that the iconic JRPG, *Chrono Trigger*, has reached its 30-year milestone. To celebrate this significant anniversary, the company is gearing up to unveil a series of exciting projects over the next year. Although the specifics of these projects remain under wraps, the anticipation suggests they might venture beyond the confines of the game itself, sparking a flurry of speculation among fans.
For decades, enthusiasts of *Chrono Trigger* have been eagerly awaiting a comprehensive remaster or a release on modern consoles. Despite its revered status as one of the most cherished JRPGs of all time, the game has never seen a full-fledged remake or even a PlayStation re-release beyond the 1999 PS1 port. Over the years, it has found its way onto PC and mobile platforms, yet a definitive modern version continues to be a dream for many fans. With Square Enix's history of revisiting its classic titles, there's always a glimmer of hope, but for now, the only confirmed event for the anniversary is a special livestream concert.
This concert, featuring the legendary soundtrack of *Chrono Trigger*, will be streamed live on YouTube. Fans can tune in on March 14th at 7:00 p.m. PT, with the event continuing until early the next morning. This celebration is a testament to the enduring legacy of the game, which was originally crafted by a stellar team of developers, including Final Fantasy's Hironobu Sakaguchi, Dragon Quest's Yuji Horii, and the renowned artist behind Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama.
*Chrono Trigger*, first released in 1995 for the Super Famicom and SNES, takes players on a thrilling journey through time. As Crono and his companions, gamers explore different eras, from a prehistoric world teeming with dinosaurs to a dystopian future dominated by an alien force. Along the way, players recruit allies, alter the course of history, and face off against one of gaming's most memorable final bosses.
This 30th anniversary marks a monumental milestone for *Chrono Trigger*. While there's no official word yet on a remake or a console port, Square Enix's announcement leaves room for optimism. Fans are encouraged to keep an eye on *Chrono Trigger*'s X page for the latest updates on what's to come.
