Rumor: Possible Release of a New Chrono Trigger Version?

Okay, so here’s the thing. Yuji Horii, bless his heart, either can’t or just won’t zip his lip. And honestly? It’s kind of endearing. Anyway — wait, no — let me backtrack.

So, there’s this thing with the “Dream Team” that brought us Chrono Trigger. Yeah, that game that’s got a cult following the size of a small country. During some comic convention over in Napoli, Italy (been there once, by the way, and the pasta? Life-changing), Horii may have dropped a bomb he wasn’t supposed to. The crowd? Electric.

Picture this: on stage, Horii’s chatting about stuff, and boom — he casually hints at a Chrono Trigger remake for its 30th anniversary. The room pauses, like a collective “did he just…” moment. Panel host, probably sweating bullets, asks Horii to confirm. And here’s the kicker — Horii does this playful mouth-cover thing while the translator throws out a classic “you heard nothing.” Cue wild applause and probably a few fans fainting. I mean, that’s dramatic.

Oh, and don’t think this is his first rodeo. Back in July 2015, our guy Horii casually confirmed the Western releases for Dragon Quest VII and VIII. The funny part? One of those had already been out in Japan forever. Classic Horii, always giving us a peek behind the curtain.

And get this — March 11 marks 30 years since Chrono Trigger’s launch in Japan. Square Enix hints at something more for the anniversary. What that means exactly? No clue. But I’m intrigued, aren’t you?
