When Horii asked what she meant by &#8220;buzz,&#8221; former Shonen Jump Kazuhiko Torishima (another regular member of the talk show) cited a few recent Chrono Trigger-related projects, such as character popularity polls and orchestral concerts planned for 2026. After Horii acknowledged that the concerts would take place next year, he was then asked by Torishima if there were going to be any developments in the franchise after the celebrations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To this, Horii replied with &#8220;I can&#8217;t talk about that,&#8221; before immediately becoming flustered, jokingly adding comments like, &#8220;Wait, if I say that, you&#8217;ll figure it out!,\u201d \u201cDon&#8217;t ask!,\u201d Asking is off-limits!,\u201d and \u201cI&#8217;ll get in trouble!&#8221;. The whole panel then burst out in laughter and moved on with the show. Before the topic was switched, however, Torishima cheekily comments \u201cThere\u2019s something,\u201d signaling his belief that a potential remake may be on its way.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of the character popularity polls and orchestral concerts that Torishima mentioned, Chrono Trigger-related projects like official music livestreams, an art panel giveaway, a top 10 best track poll, and several arrangement albums also took place this year. While there hasn\u2019t been any official confirmation of a Chrono Trigger remake yet, these events and Horii\u2019s comments have increased fan anticipation for the game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/chrono-trigger-and-xenogears-writer-says-he-used-to-hate-video-games-before-encountering-dragon-quest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chrono Trigger and Xenogears writer says he used to \u201chate video games\u201d before encountering Dragon Quest<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/dragon-quest-series-creator-yuji-horii-completely-debunks-popular-fan-theory-about-the-true-identity-of-dq7-s-final-boss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii completely debunks popular fan theory about the true identity of DQ7 \u2019s final boss<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yuji Horii&#8217;s recent comments about Chrono Trigger have given fans hope that a remake may be in the works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":54525,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-54523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Chrono Trigger&#039;s original supervisor Yuji Horii says &quot;I can&#039;t talk about it,&quot;
