Square Enix has pledged to finally address issues affecting its wonky Chrono Cross remaster, known as The Radical Dreamers Edition, in a new patch arriving this month – almost a year after its initial release on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch.
Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition launched last April, offering players a gentle remaster of Square’s dimension-hopping 1999 PlayStation JRPG Chrono Cross, in which a teenage boy named Serge finds himself in an alternate reality where he died as a child.
While the game itself has been celebrated over the years – Eurogamer contributor Edwin Evans-Thirwell called it an “engrossing epic, mixing sadness, whimsy and a touch of cosmic dread” when he reviewed The Radical Dreamers Edition last year – the remaster left a lot to be desired, with Digital Foundry coming away unimpressed by its performance on all platforms.
