Square Enix Shuts Down Fan-Made Chrono Trigger Sequel

Posted by Soulskill on Monday May 11, 2009 @10:35PM from the suspicious-timing dept.

KIllagouge writes "Just days before the release of Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes, SquareEnix sent a Cease & Desist letter to Chrono Compendium to stop everything to do with Crimson Echoes. People might remember when they did this with Chrono Resurrection. Seems to be the growing trend; instead of listening to their fans, which would net them even more money, game developers continue to lock down old gaming IP. A copy of the C&D letter is available online." The fan project had been in development since 2004 and was 98% complete.

It's a ROM Hack created with a Tool called "Time Flux". They didn't even code the tool themselves. For all I care this would've been one of the thousands of other shitty ROM Hacks that get released each year, Square Enix most likely even did us a favor by sending that cease & desist letter.
