Rumor: Possible Chrono Trigger Release Anticipated

Oh man, Yuji Horii and his, uh, tendency to practically shout secrets to the world. It’s like, does he do it on purpose? Who really knows. Or maybe he just gets caught up in the excitement, like a kid who can’t keep a surprise birthday party under wraps.

So, picture this: a comic convention in Napoli, Italy. Folks are gathered around, all eyes on Horii—you know, the guy from the Dragon Quest series. He drops this bomb, kinda accidentally I think, about a possible Chrono Trigger remake on its 30th anniversary. Classic Horii, right? The panel host is like, “Hold up, what did you just say?” And Horii? He literally covers his mouth! The translator jumps in with a “You heard nothing,” and the crowd goes wild. Like, what just happened?

Remember when Horii leaked stuff before? July 2015 was a wild time. He let slip about the English versions of Dragon Quest VII and VIII, totally nonchalant, even though VII was old news in Japan. And then, he casually mentions Dragon Quest XI for the “NX”—which was what folks were calling the Switch back then. It was supposed to focus on PS4 and 3DS, mind you. Wouldn’t be Horii without a sprinkle of chaos, huh?

March 11 was a big date—30 years since Chrono Trigger first hit Japan. Square Enix says more anniversary celebrations are on the horizon but keeps everything under wraps. No details, just mystery. Anyway, so there might be a Chrono Trigger remake? Or Horii was just… being Horii. Imagine a remake, though. Just—wow.
