In a recent post on X, Square Enix revealed that it will be marking Chrono Trigger’s 30th anniversary by revisiting the cult classic RPG in 2025. Although Square has yet to reveal any precise details, it seems that these celebrations will “go beyond the game world,” perhaps suggesting in-person events like exhibitions or concerts.
Although it was originally released on the Super Famicom in Japan on March 11, 1995, Chrono Trigger has subsequently been released on later consoles and is currently readily available on Steam and iOS/Android. However, Square Enix’s cryptic announcement has been met by calls for the game to be playable on modern consoles like Nintendo Switch, Xbox and PS5. It remains to be seen what Square Enix decides to do to mark the anniversary of this beloved RPG.
In other news, developers and fans alike have been sharing their memories of the game on Japanese social media today, and the game has shot up to No.4 on the Japanese Apple App store.
Chrono Trigger is available on PC (Steam), iOS and Android. Those who prefer physical games can track it down on SNES, PS1 and Nintendo DS.
