Chrono Cross Edition was born under the title The Radical Dreamers Edition on PS4, Xbox, Switch, PC Steam Surround because they thought that the original PlayStation JPG was not playable.
According to a new interview with the development team and published by Square Enix, the project first began to recognize and celebrate the 20th anniversary of Chrono Cross.
This moment would have been in 2019 if we consider that 2020 was a pandemic year, but nevertheless Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition finally arrived in 2012 here in peace…
“When the project started, Chrono Cross was probably a game,” explained Koichiro Sakamoto as the producer of the remaster in an interview.
“It was Game Archive’s job to release PlayStation 3 titles. But it’s time PlayStation 4 was already on the market.
We didn’t know then if there was even going to be a job with Archive on PS4. Chrono Cross was thought to be possible for gaming and a remaster project was imposed. That’s history.”
But Sony released the PlayStation 4 in 2013, so the Chrono Cross remaster could take almost 10 years to complete; and this is remastering in HD, and not recompletion.
And although the game came a year ago with a lukewarm reception due to its solution in all platform problems, the game impressed the fans deeply; Although it was recently updated.
