During the much-anticipated COMICON Napoli 2025, gaming legend and the mastermind behind Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger, Yuji Horii, seemed to drop a bombshell by hinting that a remake of Chrono Trigger was in the works. However, Square Enix has stepped in to clarify the situation, stating that this was merely a case of miscommunication. They have firmly denied any ongoing development for a Chrono Trigger remake, leaving fans both relieved and disappointed.
“The remake version of ‘Chrono Trigger’ is a mistranslation. Mr. Horii did not make such statements at all.”
Despite the initial excitement spurred by Horii’s words, the excitement may have been short-lived. With Square Enix's authoritative response, the gears of speculation have abruptly come to a halt. What does this mean for fans clamoring for a beloved classic updated for modern players? Only time will tell.
