Update []: Japanese outlet Gamespark recently reached out to Square Enix about the recent reports regarding a Chrono Trigger remake earlier this month.

In its response, the game company made it clear a "Chrono Trigger remake has not been announced". As for the claims Yuji Horii is contemplating a remake, he's apparently "not even considering it".

Square Enix: "A Chrono Trigger remake has not been announced, and at the very least, Horii is not even considering it."

Chrono Trigger is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary celebrations, with Square Enix already confirming it's planning a variety of projects over the next year - including ones that will go "beyond the world of the game".

If we hear any other developments or updates, we'll let you know.


Original Story: Some news recently popped up about a possible remake of the beloved JRPG Chrono Trigger and although the translator was just having some fun, there's now supposedly been another small development in this story.

Gamereactor was at the same event and spoke to industry legend (and Dragon Quest creator) Yuji Horii about the 30th anniversary celebrations for Chrono Trigger. According to the outlet, he ended up talking about the idea of a remake himself, and how he often receives "a lot of requests" and is apparently "starting to contemplate" it.

So, while it's not a confirmation that something is on the way like the previous story, it seems these fan requests might have at least been acknowledged. If this is true, it means Square Enix could eventually cook up something - maybe once it's done with other projects like the Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake.

For now though, there is no official confirmation about a remake from Square Enix, so it's probably best to keep your expectations in check. Back in March, the Japanese game company announced it was planning a variety of projects over the next year to celebrate Chrono Trigger's anniversary - with plans to also go "beyond the world of the game".

Do you think we'll see Chrono Trigger make a return at some point? Have you played this classic? Let us know in the comments.
