Today, the iconic video game Chrono Trigger, released in 1995, celebrates its 30th anniversary, a significant milestone for fans of this classic JRPG. Square Enix has announced that it will launch various projects related to Chrono Trigger throughout this year, in a gesture of gratitude towards all the players who have enjoyed the title over the decades. Through its social media, the company has urged fans to stay tuned, promising that more exciting information is on the way.
Not every day turns 30 years old!
The launch of Chrono Trigger was the result of collaboration between giants in the video game industry, such as Yuji Horii, creator of Dragon Quest, Akira Toriyama, the famous artist of Dragon Ball, and Hironobu Sakaguchi, the father of Final Fantasy. The influence of the title has endured over the years, becoming a benchmark in video game storytelling and turn-based gameplay.
As part of the anniversary celebrations, the Square Enix Music Channel on YouTube will host a live stream on March 14, dedicated to the renowned soundtrack of Chrono Trigger. This event aims not only to revive nostalgia among players but also to attract new generations to the legacy of the game.
As these tributes are presented, many fans have expressed their desire to be able to play Chrono Trigger on modern platforms like PS5 or Nintendo Switch, in addition to PC. Although the PC port has improved since its problematic launch, the possibility of accessing the game on more current consoles would be greatly appreciated. It is also expected that, along with Square Enix’s announcements, more surprises related to the game and its legacy will be revealed.
Finally, we highlight the new exhibition by conceptual artist Yoshitaka Amano, known for his work on Final Fantasy VII, which showcases his influence in the world of Square Enix video games. Without a doubt, this month is filled with celebrations that pay tribute to the rich history of the company and its masterpieces.
