Chrono Trigger Celebrates 30 Years with Upcoming Projects and a Special Concert
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 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 hoped for a modern remake or console release. Despite its iconic status as a top JRPG, Chrono Trigger has surprisingly never received a full remake, only a PlayStation port in 1999, followed by PC and mobile releases. A definitive modern version remains a highly sought-after wish. However, Square Enix's history of revisiting its classics offers a glimmer of hope.
For now, the confirmed anniversary event is a special YouTube livestream concert showcasing Chrono Trigger's legendary soundtrack. This concert will air on March 14th at 7:00 p.m. PT and continue into the early hours of the following morning.
For those unfamiliar, Chrono Trigger is a time-traveling RPG developed by a legendary team: Final Fantasy's Hironobu Sakaguchi, Dragon Quest's Yuji Horii, and Dragon Ball's Akira Toriyama.

Originally released in 1995 for the Super Famicom and SNES, the game follows Crono and his companions as they journey through various eras, from prehistoric times to a dystopian future. Players recruit allies, alter history, and face one of gaming's most iconic final bosses.
This 30th anniversary is a significant event. While a remake or console port remains unconfirmed, Square Enix's announcement leaves the possibility open. Follow Chrono Trigger's X page for updates on upcoming announcements.
