Chrono Trigger is celebrating its 30th anniversary with numerous releases throughout the next year

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

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

This news has ignited fervent speculation among fans, many of whom have long awaited a proper remaster or a modern console release. Despite its iconic status as one of the greatest JRPGs ever made, Chrono Trigger has surprisingly never received a full remake or a console release beyond the original PlayStation port in 1999. While available on PC and mobile platforms, a definitive modern version remains a cherished dream for many players. Given Square Enix's history of revisiting its classic titles, hope remains high.

For now, the only confirmed anniversary event is a special livestream concert showcasing Chrono Trigger's legendary soundtrack. This YouTube concert will air on March 14th at 7:00 p.m. PT and continue into the early hours of the following morning.

For those unfamiliar, Chrono Trigger is a groundbreaking time-traveling RPG developed by a legendary team: Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, Dragon Quest mastermind Yuji Horii, and the iconic Dragon Ball artist Akira Toriyama.

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

This 30th anniversary is a significant event, and although a remake or console port remains unconfirmed, Square Enix's announcement offers a glimmer of hope. Stay tuned to Chrono Trigger's official X page for the latest updates on upcoming projects.
