Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes is a fan-made game that was originally set for release on May 31st, 2009. Work for it began in 2004. However, on May 8th, 2009, Square Enix sent out a cease and desist letter to Chrono Compendium.

The game was meant to be an interquel between Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.
