Sure thing. Here we go:

So, imagine this: Yuji Horii, one of the brains behind the legendary Chrono Trigger, is starting to think about a remake. Yeah, you heard that right. It’s kinda wild. I mean, after all these requests from fans, he’s mulling it over. This came up after some buzz at a convention in Naples, which, honestly, sounds way more glamorous than my usual Tuesday night plans.
Released on the SNES back in the ancient times of 1995, Chrono Trigger was crafted by this dream team—literally. Horii was in the mix with big shots like Hironobu Sakaguchi from Final Fantasy fame and Akira Toriyama, you know, the Dragon Ball dude. The game was all about time travel. Characters like Crono, Marle, and Lucca were hopping around different eras, trying to stop the world from ending. No pressure, right? And the music—don’t even get me started. Yasunori Mitsuda composed most of it. Think iconic, if that word still means anything.
Okay, so there was this rumor spree on social media that got a little tangled—something about a remake thanks to a translation slip-up. But then Horii throws out this “beginning to contemplate” thing. Like, what does that even mean? Are you contemplating or are you planning? Honestly, feels like he’s playing hard to get. But hey, with the success of stuff like Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D, you can’t blame him for looking over at Chrono Trigger.
Anyway—wait—back to Horii. He said he’s open to the idea, especially ‘cause 2025 marks 30 years since the game launched. I mean, that’s pretty wild. Thirty years? Feels like yesterday I was mashing buttons on that old SNES controller. Meanwhile, Square Enix is being all mysterious, keeping quiet about any official remake plans.
Here’s a kicker—Square Enix is also working on Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake for 2025. Plus, they’re cooking up Dragon Quest 12: The Flames of Fate. But news is coming out slower than my grandma on dial-up internet.
So yeah, with Chrono Trigger’s big 30th having a whole year-long party in 2025, it’s the perfect time to drop a fresh new version. Guess we’ll just have to sit tight and see if Square Enix finally decides to give the fans what they’ve been yelling for. Sigh.
And there we have it. That’s the scoop—messy, but real.
