Square Enix Unveils Chrono Trigger Piano Soundscape Arrangement Album for 30th Anniversary Celebrating the 30th anniversary of one of the most beloved RPGs in history, Square Enix has announced the release of a special Chrono Trigger Piano Soundscape Arrangement album.

Originally launched in 1995, Chrono Trigger quickly cemented itself as a classic in the RPG genre with its inventive gameplay, memorable story, and critically acclaimed soundtrack.

The game first debuted on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and has since found new generations of fans through releases on the Nintendo DS, Nintendo Switch Online, and various digital platforms including the eShop and mobile devices. The newly announced Chrono Trigger Piano Soundscape Arrangement commemorates this landmark anniversary by offering fresh piano renditions of many of the game's standout musical themes.

RPGs are often recognized for their powerful and emotive soundtracks, and Chrono Trigger’s music, composed by Yasunori Mitsuda with contributions from Nobuo Uematsu, remains particularly cherished by fans around the world.

In acknowledgment of the soundtrack’s enduring impact, Square Enix curated this album to highlight some of the most iconic character and story themes from the game. According to Square Enix, the CHRONO TRIGGER Piano Soundscape Arrangement features 12 tracks, each offering a new interpretation of familiar melodies.

The complete track list includes: - Presentiment / Chrono Trigger - Gato’s Song / Battle 1 / Fanfare 1 - Wind Scene - Frog’s Theme - Lavos’ Theme - Robo’s Theme - Ayla’s Theme - Magus’ Castle / Confusing Melody / Battle with Magus - Corridors of Time - Sarah’s Theme - Far Off Promise - To Far Away Times This commemorative album focuses primarily on character themes and well-known compositions, giving longtime fans—and new listeners—a chance to experience the music of Chrono Trigger in a fresh light.

All arrangements featured are brand new, designed specifically for this anniversary release. Pre-orders for the Chrono Trigger Piano Soundscape Arrangement are now available on the Square Enix Store.

While the album is being offered as an import from Japan for international customers—with slightly higher pricing and extended shipping times—a dedicated US release is scheduled.

The album will retail for $37.99 before shipping costs, and is expected to be released in December of this year. Fans interested in celebrating Chrono Trigger’s storied legacy through its music can secure their copy by pre-ordering through the official Square Enix Store.
