Chrono Cross Remaster Coming to PC in April!

Oh my fu… freaking god, what a day it is to be a crusty old gamer like me. First, we hear that Kolonoa is coming to Switch and PC, and now we’ve got a Chrono Cross Remaster coming to PC in April. Square Enix has just announced a brand new remaster of Chrono Cross, called CHRONO CROSS: THE RADICAL DREAMERS EDITION, which is awesome. CHRONO CROSS: THE RADICAL DREAMERS EDITION will feature 3D models converted to HD, higher-quality background music, and battle enhancement features. Moreover, it will have over 40 party members. There are a whole bunch of improvements in the update, which are listed below. Many of them are welcoming to those who’ve played the game a lot or just want to take an easier path through it, such as auto-battle and switchable encounters.

However, the thing I love the most, is that you can switch between original and updated graphics. Hopefully, at any time while playing, much like you could in Halo MCC. It would be nice to do a side by side comparison in some sections.

What’s interesting is that this game was on Nvidia’s leaked games list, adding considerable weight to that leak, which was riddled with PlayStation PC titles…. oh yeah!

Check out the trailer and let me know what you think in the comments section below.

CHRONO CROSS: THE RADICAL DREAMERS EDITION is available April 7th on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam!

“CHRONO CROSS: THE RADICAL DREAMERS EDITION” is a remaster of “CHRONO CROSS”, including new features such as 3D models converted to HD, higher-quality background music, and battle enhancement features. Also includes the game that formed the bedrock of the story, “RADICAL DREAMERS – Le Trésor Interdit -“

With over 40 party members to meet, people and dimensions will intertwine in this epic drama about the planet itself.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
