Square Enix Marks 30 Years of Chrono Trigger With a Year-Long Celebration Plan
Legendary RPG Chrono Trigger, developed by the iconic trio of Yuji Horii (Dragon Quest), Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball), and Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy), reaches a monumental milestone in 2025.
Today, March 11th, marks exactly 30 years since Chrono Trigger debuted on the Super Famicom and SNES.
To honor this legacy, Square Enix has unveiled plans for a year of special projects and events commemorating Chrono Trigger's enduring influence on the gaming world.
In a statement shared via the official Square Enix and Chrono Trigger social media channels, the company reflected on the RPG’s rich history and expressed deep appreciation for its devoted fanbase.
According to the announcement, Square Enix intends to roll out a series of diverse projects throughout the coming year—activities that will, as described, "go beyond the world of the game".
The company encouraged fans to stay connected for frequent updates, promising that new information will be shared on the Square Enix Official X account and @ChronoTriggerPR.
To launch the anniversary festivities, Square Enix will host a special livestream event focused on the game’s celebrated soundtrack.
The livestream is scheduled for March 14 and will be featured on the Square Enix Music Channel on YouTube, inviting longtime fans and newcomers alike to revisit the unforgettable music that helped define Chrono Trigger’s legacy.
Despite calls from the community for a Nintendo Switch version, Chrono Trigger has not yet been released on Nintendo’s popular hybrid console.
The original game remains most accessible on classic hardware like the Super Famicom and the SNES, though it is also available on select other platforms via digital storefronts.
As fans worldwide celebrate this landmark anniversary, hopes remain high for future releases that will make Chrono Trigger even more widely available.
Chrono Trigger continues to be regarded as one of the greatest RPGs in video game history, known for its innovative time-travel mechanics, memorable characters, and influential development pedigree.
Its 30th anniversary not only highlights the game’s staying power but also Square Enix’s commitment to celebrating its history while engaging fans across generations.
With a year of commemorative projects on the horizon, Chrono Trigger’s legacy is set to expand even further.
