Overview

  • Yuji Horii, co-writer of Chrono Trigger, stated in a recent interview that he is 'starting to contemplate' a remake of the game.
  • This follows a previous mistranslation incident at a Naples event, where comments were incorrectly interpreted as confirming a remake.
  • Chrono Trigger remains unavailable on modern consoles like the Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, frustrating fans who have long requested a port, remaster, or remake.
  • Square Enix's successful HD-2D remakes of Dragon Quest titles have raised expectations for a similar approach to Chrono Trigger.
  • While Horii's comments have reignited hopes, no official project has been greenlit, and any potential remake would likely require several years of development.
