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 year. While details remain scarce, the announcement hints at possibilities beyond a simple game-related celebration.
This news has ignited excitement among fans who have long hoped for a modern remake or console release. Despite its iconic status as one of the greatest JRPGs ever created, Chrono Trigger has yet to receive a full remake since its initial 1999 PlayStation port. While available on PC and mobile platforms, a definitive modern version remains a sought-after goal. Square Enix's history of revisiting classic titles offers hope, but for now, the confirmed anniversary event is a special concert.
This concert, showcasing Chrono Trigger's legendary soundtrack, will stream live 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, time-traveling RPG developed by a legendary team: Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, Dragon Quest mastermind Yuji Horii, and renowned Dragon Ball artist Akira Toriyama.

This 30th anniversary is a significant event, and while a remake or console port isn't yet confirmed, Square Enix's announcement keeps the possibility alive. Follow Chrono Trigger's X page for the latest updates on upcoming projects.
