"Chrono Trigger Marks 30 Years with Year-Long Celebratory Releases"

by Finn May 08,2025

Square Enix has proudly announced that the iconic JRPG, Chrono Trigger, has reached its 30-year milestone. This momentous occasion is being celebrated with a series of upcoming projects planned for release throughout the next year. While the details of these projects remain under wraps, Square Enix's language hints at possibilities that may extend beyond the game itself, sparking excitement and speculation among fans.

For decades, enthusiasts have eagerly awaited a comprehensive remaster or a modern console release of Chrono Trigger. Despite its revered status as one of the greatest JRPGs ever made, the game has not seen a full remake or even a PlayStation re-release since the PS1 port back in 1999. Although it has been available on PC and mobile platforms over the years, a definitive modern version remains elusive. Given Square Enix's history of revisiting its classics, there is always hope for fans, but for now, the only confirmed anniversary event is a special livestream featuring the game's legendary soundtrack.

The concert, set to air on YouTube on March 14th at 7:00 p.m. PT and running until early the next morning, promises to be a memorable celebration of Chrono Trigger's enduring legacy. For those new to the game, Chrono Trigger is a groundbreaking time-traveling RPG developed by a dream team including Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, Dragon Quest mastermind Yuji Horii, and the legendary Dragon Ball artist Akira Toriyama.

Chrono Trigger 30th Anniversary

Originally released in 1995 for the Super Famicom and SNES, Chrono Trigger follows the adventures of Crono and his companions as they journey through various eras, from a prehistoric world filled with dinosaurs to a dystopian future dominated by an alien force. Players recruit allies, alter history, and confront one of the most memorable final bosses in gaming history.

As Chrono Trigger celebrates its 30th anniversary, the lack of a confirmed remake or console port keeps fans hopeful. Square Enix's announcement keeps the door open for exciting possibilities. To stay updated on all the latest developments, be sure to follow Chrono Trigger's X page.
