For the past few years, Square Enix has found a lot of success in remaking some of its most beloved older games with Final Fantasy VII Remake and Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. Other remakes of classic RPGs, namely Final Fantasy IX, have also been rumored, but there may be no game players are clamoring for a new version of more than Chrono Trigger. And now, after quickly debunked reports that a Chrono Trigger remake had actually been leaked, yet another rumor has been sparked by the game’s original writer, even while its company Square Enix is casting doubt.
In early May, reports circulated online that Dragon Quest creator and Chrono Trigger writer Yuji Horii had accidentally let slip the existence of a Chrono Trigger remake. The RPG veteran was reported as making a casual reference to a remake being underway at an Italian convention appearance, then following it up with, “You have heard nothing.” That turned out not to be the case, as Horii himself didn’t mention Chrono Trigger at all — only the event’s Italian translator did. Square Enix did not immediately respond to Inverse’s request for comment.
