'''Chrono Resurrection''' (also known as '''Chrono Trigger: Resurrection''') is an unreleased, non-profit fangame developed by North American team Resurrection Games under Nathan Lazur's direction. It is based on Chrono Trigger by [[Square Co.|Square]]. The project was initially called '''CT64''' and was meant to be a complete remake of the original game for the Nintendo 64, with both 2D and 3D playing modes.

After a first interruption in development, the project was redefined as a short interactive demo for Windows-based personal computers. New team members, including professional artists and designers, were recruited for the demo, which would feature ten scenes from Chrono Trigger and most of its playable characters. In 2004, the project was publicly closed after [[Square Enix]] issued a cease-and-desist letter to Resurrection Games for trademark and copyright infringement. Despite its closure, the project has received critical and popular praises.

Chrono Resurrection was originally set for a Christmas 2004 release. However, Square Enix issued a cease-and-desist letter to Resurrection Games before the release for trademark and copyright infringement. Faced with a threat of legal action, the project was publicly closed on September 6, 2004. According to the development team, the website of the project had received significant hits from Square Enix Japanese IP addresses for a period of three months before the letter issuing. They assumed these visits were mostly from employees rather than top executives, and hoped the company would see the demo as how the team sees it, a tribute to Chrono Trigger rather than a replacement.

Gaming websites 1UP and GameSpot called the project's second version "ambitious" and praised its graphics, noting that the art style is mostly faithful to that of the original game's character designer [[Akira Toriyama]]. Website Nintendo World Report praised the game's graphics and music, and called the quality of the artwork "professional". 1UP judged the project's closure "unfortunate" but deduced that Square Enix could not leave the possibility of a "competing" Chrono Trigger remake open. GameSpot also expressed their disappointment in Square Enix's decision to shut down the "furthest along" of Chrono Trigger fan remakes, pointing at the fact that with no news of [[Chrono Break|another official sequel]], fans of the Chrono series "have been left in the cold".
