Chrono Cross is getting a remaster for Switch, PC, PS4 and Xbox One

For several months now we've been hearing rumours about a Chrono Cross remaster. The game was initially expected to be announced at The Game Awards in December but ultimately ended up being a no-show. Now just a couple of months later, the game has been made official, with Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition being announced for Switch, PC, PlayStation and Xbox.

Chrono Cross released back in the 90s and is regarded as a JRPG classic. The story follows Serge, a teenager journeying through the archipelago of El Nido, searching for answers about its world.

The remastered version will be called Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition and will come with new art from character designer Nobuteru Yuuki and a remastered OST from Yasunori Mitsuda, the composer behind the game's original music. In addition, it will include the text-based adventure game released for Satellaview in 1996 named “Radical Dreamers  – Le Trésor Interdit”, which works as a prequel to the main game.

Like most remasters, players will have more languages available, improved models, and the option to play with older or updated graphics. Other additions include the ability to switch enemy encounters on or off, background filter, battle enhancement features, auto-battle, and the choice between pixel or HD fonts.

Chrono Cross:  The Radical Dreamers Edition will be available on April 7th for Switch, Steam, PS4 and Xbox One. To commemorate its launch, Square Enix is also offering fans the chance to get the Chrono Cross -Scars of Time music box, available for €17.99 at the Square Enix Online Store.
