Excitement is building around the potential release of a full-fledged Chrono Trigger remake, thanks to an alleged slip by JRPG legend Yuji Horii. According to reports by Gematsu, Horii inadvertently let this information slip at a Napoli Comicon panel.
Social media has been buzzing with accounts from attendees of the panel who claim that Horii mentioned a Chrono Trigger remake. In an unverified video that’s making rounds on Twitter, he seemingly made a comment that electrified the crowd. During the panel, a dialogue took place between Horii, the host, and a translator, with the latter addressing the audience in Italian.
One attendee narrates that Horii nonchalantly shared the monumental news that Chrono Trigger is being resurrected, prompting the translator to inform the host, who reacted with, “wait, if that’s true, this is big.” Realizing his blunder, Horii then tacitly conveyed to the audience: “You have heard nothing.”
Update: A colleague fluent in Italian confirms that the description is accurate. While unable to distinctly hear Chrono Trigger being named amidst the commotion, we continue waiting for Square Enix to officially comment on this speculation.
If confirmed, this news would be a major breakthrough. Often hailed as one of the greatest JRPGs of all time, Chrono Trigger, with Horii overseeing its scenario, set the standard for the genre. Until we achieve verification of Horii’s statement, this remains speculative, meriting cautious optimism amongst fans.
Though none have credibly debunked these claims, such speculation makes it begin to feel real. For now, the community of JRPG enthusiasts waits with bated breath for a potential revival of their beloved classic.
