Overview

  • Yuji Horii, co-writer of Chrono Trigger, revealed in a recent Gamereactor interview that he is 'starting to contemplate' a remake of the iconic RPG.
  • Horii's comments follow a mistranslation incident earlier this month, which led to false reports of a confirmed remake that were later debunked.
  • Square Enix has announced broader 30th anniversary initiatives for Chrono Trigger, though no specific game-related projects have been detailed.
  • The game, originally released in 1995, remains unavailable on modern consoles, a long-standing frustration among its dedicated fanbase.
  • Recent success of HD-2D remakes, such as Dragon Quest III, has fueled speculation that a similar approach could be applied to Chrono Trigger if a remake materializes.
