Chrono Cross remaster soundtrack preview shows off new and arranged tracks

Chrono Cross remaster soundtrack preview

Publisher Square Enix shared a new Chrono Cross remaster soundtrack preview, giving a first look at its new and arranged soundtrack.

Before returning fans get concerned – original composer Yasunori Mitsuda oversaw the soundtrack being rearranged, and while they sound new they do retain the feel of the original soundtrack.

For purists or those who don’t like the rearranged soundtrack, it remains unclear if there will be an option to toggle back to the original soundtrack, but this is expected as Square’s other remasters have offered this.

Here’s the Chrono Cross remaster soundtrack preview:

Here’s a rundown on the game:

 Players will embark on an epic adventure that transcends time and space, with refined illustrations from original character designer, Nobuteru Yuuki, remastered music from acclaimed composer, Yasunori Mitsuda, and a variety of additional features.
