Surrrrrrprise! We’ve decided to both announce AND release CHRONO TRIGGER today on Steam!
OK, so if you’re reading beyond that last line then you probably want to know what CHRONO TRIGGER is (beyond my humble opinion that it’s one of the best games ever made).

CHRONO TRIGGER is a JRPG originally developed by who we affectionately dub the ‘Dream Team’, consisting of:
- The creator of the DRAGON QUEST series: Yuji Horii
- The creator of the DRAGON BALL series: Akira Toriyama
- The creators of the FINAL FANTASY series, including Hironobu Sakaguchi
Here’s a quick introduction to the story for you:
A chance encounter amid the festivities of Guardia's Millennial Fair in Leene Square introduces our young hero, Crono, to a girl by the name of Marle. Deciding to explore the fair together, the two soon find themselves at an exhibition of the Telepod, the latest invention by Crono's longtime friend Lucca. Marle, fearless and brimming with curiosity, volunteers to assist in a demonstration. An unanticipated malfunction, however, sends her hurtling through a rift in the dimensions. Taking hold of the girl's pendant, Crono bravely follows in pursuit. But the world into which he emerges is the one of four centuries before. Journey to the forgotten past, the distant future, and even to the very End of Time. The epic quest to save a planet's future makes history once again…
If you’ve had the pleasure of playing CHRONO TRIGGER before, then you’ll be pleased to find out that this version includes animated cutscenes, as well as the Dimensional Vortex and Lost Sanctum dungeons from previous versions of the game. We’ve also updated the controls, graphics and sound to make this the definitive version of CHRONO TRIGGER!
Finally, there’s also a Limited Edition available, you have until the 2nd of April 2018 to pick it up, and it includes the following bonus content:
- An enchanting and specially edited CHRONO TRIGGER medley consisting of 5 songs: Far Off Promise, Wind Scene, Battle with Magus, Corridors of Time and CHRONO TRIGGER.
