Frequent Dragon Quest lead and JRPG maestro Yuji Horii didn't actually leak a Chrono Trigger remake, despite recent reports to the contrary.

Earlier this week, Horii attended a panel at Napoli Comicon, and a number of purported attendees claimed the designer had accidentally revealed the existence of a full-fledged Chrono Trigger remake in celebration of its 30th anniversary, before telling the crowd via a translator that "You have heard nothing." An unverified video poured more fuel on the fires, too.

But now, footage from the event has finally been released and you can see Chrono Trigger isn't actually mentioned by Horii. Gematsu was able to translate what was said and have confirmed that "Horii himself never actually says anything about a remake of Chrono Trigger (like at all—it was all the interpreter). Sorry to burst everyone's bubble."
