And with no firm news of another Chrono sequel (and with most of the first games' key players having moved on to other pastures), these days Chrono Trigger's biggest fans have sadly been left out in the cold.Īs the 16-bit era waned and the world looked to the 3D graphics and CD storage of the next generation of consoles, who would've thought the era's heaviest hitter would release arguably its finest work to date on one of those very systems about to enter obsolescence? That's precisely what happened when role-playing titan SquareSoft delivered Chrono Trigger-an entirely original Super NES role-playing game of incredibly high quality-just days before the historic September 1995 launch of the PlayStation. Unfortunately, Square-Enix put the legal kibbosh on both of these projects, ensuring that we'll never get to enjoy these devoted fans' hard work unless somebody over there has a magnanimous change of heart. How bad did people want a 3D Chrono Trigger, when there were not one but two remakes in the works simultaneously? Thanks to a second development group, there are two! The Remake Project is similar to Resurrection, though it wasn't as far along in development. One 3D Chrono Trigger just wasn't enough.

Okay, we really, really wanted to play this. The artists did a magnificent job of matching Chrono Trigger's distinct art style.

Thanks to the CT Resurrection team, Magus is ready for his close-up. The desire for a 3D Chrono Trigger was so great, in fact, that no fewer than two remake projects have sprung up in recent years.Įasily the most ambitious (and furthest along) of the Chrono Trigger remakes was Chrono Trigger Resurrection, which you can see some shots of below. Despite the release of a somewhat unrelated PlayStation sequel called Chrono Cross in 2000, the most diehard fans of Trigger have yet yearned to see Crono, Marle, and the original gang spring forth in glorious 3D. Such is fans' love for Chrono Trigger that the game still supports a thriving fan community on the Internet, some of whom are apparently budding developers.
