Chrono Trigger: 30th Anniversary Celebration Kicks Off

Chrono Trigger Celebrates 30 Years with Upcoming Projects and a Special Concert

Square Enix has announced the 30th anniversary of the beloved RPG, Chrono Trigger. To mark this milestone, they've promised a series of projects launching throughout the year. While details remain scarce, the announcement hints at possibilities beyond a simple game-related celebration.

This news has ignited considerable excitement among fans, many of whom have long hoped for a modern remake or a release on current consoles. Despite its iconic status as one of the greatest JRPGs ever created, Chrono Trigger has yet to receive a full-fledged remake since its original 1999 PlayStation port. While available on PC and mobile platforms, a definitive modern version remains a cherished, elusive goal. Given Square Enix's history of revisiting classic titles, hope remains high.

For now, the only confirmed anniversary event is a special YouTube livestream concert showcasing the game's legendary soundtrack. The concert airs March 14th at 7:00 p.m. PT and continues into the early morning hours.

Chrono Trigger, for the uninitiated, is a time-traveling epic RPG developed by a legendary team: Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy), Yuji Horii (Dragon Quest), and Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball).

Originally released in 1995 for the Super Famicom and SNES, the game follows Crono and his companions as they journey through various eras, from prehistoric times to a dystopian future. Players recruit allies, alter history, and ultimately face one of gaming's most iconic final bosses.

This 30th anniversary is a momentous occasion. While a remake or console port isn't yet confirmed, Square Enix's announcement keeps the possibility alive.
