Chrono Trigger Celebrates 30 Years: Anniversary Projects and Concert Announced
Square Enix has announced the 30th anniversary of the beloved RPG, Chrono Trigger. To mark this milestone, they've promised a series of projects launching throughout the coming year. While specifics remain under wraps, the announcement hints at possibilities extending beyond the game itself, fueling fan speculation.
Many long-time fans eagerly anticipate a proper remaster or modern console release. Despite its iconic status as a top JRPG, Chrono Trigger has yet to receive 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 sought-after 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 legendary soundtrack. This YouTube concert airs March 14th at 7:00 p.m. PT, running into the early hours of the next morning.
For those unfamiliar, Chrono Trigger is a time-traveling RPG developed by a legendary team: Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, Dragon Quest mastermind Yuji Horii, and Dragon Ball artist Akira Toriyama.
