Square Enix has announced plans to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its beloved RPG classic Chrono Trigger with several ambitious initiatives that will extend beyond the world of the game throughout the coming year. The groundbreaking time-travel adventure, which first launched for Super Famicom in Japan on March 11, 1985, has maintained a dedicated fanbase for three decades. Square Enix commemorated the milestone with a special message on its official social media accounts expressing gratitude to longtime fans.

“To mark the 30th anniversary and to express our gratitude to everyone who has played Chrono Trigger so far, we are planning a variety of projects over the next year that will go beyond the world of the game,” Square Enix stated.

While specific details about these initiatives remain under wraps, the phrasing suggests the projects may extend into media or merchandise beyond traditional gaming experiences. The company has advised that updates will be shared via their official channels in the coming months.

For those looking to revisit this RPG classic, Chrono Trigger is currently available on PC via Steam, iOS, and Android, with previous ports having been released for the original PlayStation and Nintendo DS. The DS version notably featured enhanced content, though PC remains the most accessible modern platform for new players.

The game follows protagonist Crono on an accidental time-traveling journey alongside scientist’s daughter Lucca. Their adventure spans from prehistoric eras to dystopian futures, where they encounter allies such as cavewoman Ayla and a robotic companion named Robo, ultimately confronting the world-destroying entity Lavos.
