I have terrible news for all you Chrono Trigger fans out there. It was recently reported that writer Yuji Horii said he was contemplating a remake of the 1995 RPG, but Square Enix itself now claims that was just a mistranslation.

In a series of mistranslations and rumours, it was reported at the start of May that Horii essentially leaked the existence of a Chrono Trigger remake. The original is considered one of the most influential and best RPGs ever made, so a remake would be welcomed by a lot of fans.

Now, this is just a rebuttal of the initial report that Horii leaked a remake, it isn't an outright denial that there's a remake in the works or being considered, but you still shouldn't hold your breath for one.

Huffing a lethal dose of copium, some people on Twitter believe this denial is actually confirmation of a remake.

"That means it's happening," excitedly tweets one hopeful fan. "So it is true then," adds another. Some think the game doesn't need a remake and is perfect as it is. What do you think?

For now, check out our list of the best RPGs you can play right now.
