Following the recent rumor regarding a Chrono Trigger remake that was soon dismissed within hours, Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii has provided a glimmer of optimism for fans eager to witness the return of the iconic RPG.
In a conversation with Gamereactor Spain, Horii addressed the 30th anniversary festivities of Chrono Trigger, which led naturally to discussions about a possible remake, a subject he appeared to initiate himself.
“Indeed, I wish to create something,” he confessed.
He added: “I receive numerous inquiries regarding the remake of Chrono Trigger, and thus I’m beginning to reflect on it.”
Whether this will progress into something tangible remains uncertain — however, Horii’s stature in the industry, along with his experience at Square Enix, should not be overlooked. Having played a pivotal role in revitalizing the early Dragon Quest titles through the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and the forthcoming Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake, it appears there might be potential for analogous projects.
Do you believe we’ll eventually see a Chrono Trigger remake or remaster? Or perhaps even a straightforward re-release on contemporary platforms? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you’re feeling informal) serves as an assistant editor at Push Square and has cherished PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 first introduced him to the captivating realm of gaming. While he remains serious about fighting games, RPGs hold his true affection. He has indulged in titles such as The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, and Tales — he’s explored them all, maybe a bit too much, some might argue.
