There are no plans for a new title, despite a statement from Hironobu Sakaguchi in 2001 that the developers of Chrono Cross wanted to make a new Chrono game. The same year, Square applied for a trademark for the names [[Chrono Break]] in the United States and Chrono Brake in Japan. However, the United States trademark was dropped in 2003. Director Takashi Tokita mentioned "Chrono Trigger 2" in a 2003 interview which has not been translated to English. [[Yūji Horii]] expressed no interest in returning to the Chrono franchise in 2005, while Hironobu Sakaguchi remarked in April 2007 that his creation Blue Dragon was an "extension of [Chrono Trigger]." During a Cubed³ interview on February 1, 2007 Square Enix’s Senior Vice President Hiromichi Tanaka said that although no sequel is currently planned, some sort of sequel is still possible if the Chrono Cross developers can be reunited. Yasunori Mitsuda has expressed interest in scoring a new game, but warned that "there are a lot of politics involved" with the series. He stressed that Masato Kato should participate in development. The February 2008 issue of Game Informer ranked the Chrono series eighth among the "Top Ten Sequels in Demand", asking, "what's the damn holdup?!" In Electronic Gaming Monthly's June 2008 "Retro Issue", writer Jeremy Parish cited Chrono as the franchise video game fans would be most thrilled to see a sequel to. | There are no plans for a new title, despite a statement from Hironobu Sakaguchi in 2001 that the developers of Chrono Cross wanted to make a new Chrono game.

===Fan Projects=== | |||
There have been numerous attempts at ROM hacks of Chrono Trigger, with the goal to either edit Chrono Trigger or create an entirely new game based on the same characters, worlds, etc. These fan games include, but are not limited to: | |||
'''Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes''' A massive fan game set for release on May 31st, 2009 and done by Chrono Compedium. It was meant to be an interquel between Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, and was 5 years in the making. Unfortunately, Square Enix ordered a cease and desist on May 8th, 2009, at which point the game was 98% completed, with only a few bugs and glitches to fix before release. Currently, fans have flocked to YouTube to watch playthroughs of the game, during "The Month That Could Have Been".

'''Chrono Trigger: Prophet's Guile''' A complete hack that boasts considerable prowess, as it not only is a finished hack, but one with an entirely new game! Based on Magus's adventurous time in his return to Zeal, the player takes on the role of seeing how Magus adapted to become the Prophet, as well as the hardships he faced in Zeal. Explore Zeal like never before, here's the missing link! | |||
'''Chrono Trigger Spoof #1 & #2''' Two different hacks that change the dialogue of Chrono Trigger and fill it with jokes and humorous bits. Important plot points are still retained. Both are complete and can be downloaded for use. | |||
'''Chrono Trigger Hard Type''' Made for those who thought Chrono Trigger was too easy! Enemies now have higher stats, and Playable Characters start out weaker, things are quite a challenge! That's not all, either. Levels can be reached quicker in the game due to added experience points to battles, as well as several other modifications. | |||
