eleventh March 2025 marked the thirtieth anniversary of Chrono Set off. Sq. Enix marked the event by asserting that “varied tasks” can be coming our manner over the subsequent 12 months, however up to now, these tasks have been restricted to character reputation polls and deliberate orchestral concert events. Importantly, that is not the remake that all of us wish to see and have been chatting about for years. However we’re nonetheless not able to fully throw out all hope simply but.
You see, within the newest episode of the ‘KosoKoso Hōsō Kyoku‘ discuss present livestream (translated by Automaton), Dragon Quest creator and Chrono Set off supervisor Yuji Horii tried to maintain his lips sealed about the place the sequence is heading — however in saying nothing, has he truly mentioned all the things?
“I can not speak about that,” Horii-san advised the interviewer when requested whether or not the smaller anniversary occasions may be “foreshadowing” larger developments down the road. He jokingly added clarifying statements like, “Wait, if I say that, you will determine it out!,” “Do not ask!,” and “I will get in hassle!” earlier than the panel determined to maneuver on with the present.
Hmmm. It’s miles from something concrete, and there is each likelihood that Horii-san was genuinely simply making an attempt to get himself out of a sticky scenario, however we will not assist feeling that the entire thing is a little suspicious. Hey, maybe it is simply wishful pondering on our finish.
Again in Could, it appeared like Horii-san might need let the information of an upcoming remake slip throughout a panel at Napoli Comicon. Nonetheless, it later turned out that it was simply the translator citing the sequence, not Yuji Horii himself. D’oh.
On the time of writing, the easiest way to formally play Chrono Set off stays the fantastic 2008 DS port, which’ll set you again a reasonably penny in case you attempt to decide it up on the resale market at the moment. It has arrived on cellular and Home windows within the years since, however come on, all of us wish to see it on Swap (2), proper?
