During a recent panel hosted on YouTube, Chrono Trigger co-creator Yuji Horii was asked about whether or not a remake of the game could be in development. Horii refused to confirm or deny that such a project could be happening and instead said that he would get “told off” by those in charge if he were to say anything on the subject. While this response is open for interpretation, the fact that Horri didn’t outright deny that a Chrono Trigger remake was happening is perhaps a promising sign.
On a long enough timeline, it seems like a remake of Chrono Trigger will surely end up happening. Perhaps more than any other game in Square Enix’s catalog, Chrono Trigger is primed to get the HD-2D treatment, which would improve its visuals greatly. While the game has been ported to PS1, Nintendo DS, PC, and even mobile devices in the past, a proper remake of the game has been desired by fans for decades. Because of this fervor, there’s reason to believe that a Chrono Trigger remake would sell at an incredibly high rate, which is ultimately what can and should lead to the project eventually materializing.
