Naples, Italy — A highly anticipated remake of the classic RPG “Chrono Trigger” may be in the works, according to hints dropped by series creator Yuji Horii during a recent panel at Napoli Comicon. As fans celebrated the game’s 30th anniversary, excitement soared when Horii seemingly confirmed the project’s existence to an eager audience.
During the panel, Horii reportedly discussed the potential for a remake, with audience members reacting enthusiastically to his comments. One attendee shared insights on the ChronoTrigger subreddit, stating that Horii let slip information about the remake, causing what can only be described as a fan frenzy. Many other attendees corroborated this account, describing how the news transformed the mood in the room.
Witnesses claimed that Horii’s comments led to an immediate response from both the audience and the panel interviewer. According to attendees, the atmosphere shifted as the interviewer pressed Horii for clarification, to which a translator jokingly responded that the audience should “pretend they heard nothing.” This humorous exchange only intensified speculation around the remake.
While details about the project remain scarce, fans of the genre have long expressed a desire for a new version of “Chrono Trigger.” Originally released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995, the game is celebrated for its groundbreaking storytelling and gameplay mechanics. The collaboration between Horii, Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, and famed manga artist Akira Toriyama has led many to regard “Chrono Trigger” as one of the finest RPGs ever produced.
Given Horii’s established relationship with Square Enix through his own company, Armor Project, the notion of a remake appears plausible. However, fans should approach the news with cautious optimism until Square Enix issues an official announcement. Previous teases by the company hint at various projects in development, fueling further speculation about the possible return of this beloved title.
As the gaming community continues to buzz about the potential remake, many are left wondering how it might look and play on modern consoles. There has been a growing demand for a version that transcends its origins as a handheld or PC game; fans hope for a release on current platforms such as the Nintendo Switch.
In the meantime, the announcement of a “Chrono Trigger” remake could serve as a fitting tribute to the game’s legacy and the ongoing love that fans have for this iconic franchise. For now, both nostalgia and excitement loom large as fans eagerly await confirmation of this potential gaming revival.
