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 legendary RPG, Chrono Trigger. To mark this momentous occasion, 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 fervent speculation among fans, many of whom have long awaited a proper remaster or modern console release. Despite its iconic status as one of the greatest JRPGs ever made, Chrono Trigger has surprisingly never received a full remake, only a PlayStation port in 1999. Subsequent releases have appeared on PC and mobile platforms, but a definitive modern version remains a cherished, yet elusive, goal. Given Square Enix's history of revisiting classic titles, hope remains high.

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

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

Originally released in 1995 for the Super Famicom and SNES, the game follows Crono and his companions as they journey through history, from prehistoric times to a dystopian future. Their adventure involves recruiting allies, altering history, and confronting one of gaming's most memorable final bosses.

This 30th anniversary is a significant milestone. While a remake or console port remains unconfirmed, Square Enix's announcement leaves the possibility open. Stay tuned to Chrono Trigger's X page for updates on upcoming projects.
