Square Enix has proudly announced that the iconic JRPG, *Chrono Trigger*, has reached its 30-year milestone. To celebrate this significant occasion, the company is gearing up to launch a series of exciting projects throughout the next year. Although the specifics of these projects remain under wraps, the announcement hints that they could encompass more than just the game itself, sparking widespread speculation among the fanbase.
For years, fans have eagerly awaited a comprehensive remaster or a modern console release of *Chrono Trigger*. Despite being hailed as one of the most cherished JRPGs ever, the game has yet to receive a full-fledged remake or even a PlayStation re-release since its PS1 port in 1999. It has found its way to PC and mobile platforms, but a definitive modern version continues to elude gamers. Given Square Enix's history of revisiting its classics, there is always hope for a grand return, but as of now, the only confirmed celebration is a special livestream concert.
This concert, dedicated to the game's legendary soundtrack, will be broadcast on YouTube on March 14th at 7:00 p.m. PT and is expected to run until early the next morning. Fans around the world are invited to tune in and celebrate the game's musical legacy.
For those new to *Chrono Trigger*, it's an epic time-travelling RPG developed by a stellar team including Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of Final Fantasy, Yuji Horii, the mastermind behind Dragon Quest, and Akira Toriyama, the legendary artist of Dragon Ball. First released in 1995 for the Super Famicom and SNES, the game follows protagonist Crono and his companions as they traverse various time periods, from a prehistoric dinosaur-filled world to a dystopian future threatened by an alien force. Along their journey, players will recruit allies, alter the course of history, and confront one of gaming's most memorable final bosses.
The 30th anniversary marks a major milestone for *Chrono Trigger*, and while there's no official word yet on a remake or console port, Square Enix's statement keeps the possibility alive. Stay tuned to Chrono Trigger's X page for the latest updates on what's in store.
