Chrono Break

Chrono Break is the name of a trademark registered by Square (now Square Enix) in the United States on December 5, 2001 that was later abandoned. A similar trademark was registered by the company in the European Union on December 14, 2001, while the trademark Chrono Brake was registered in Japan. Although no official announcement was made, the trademark sparked speculation that Square was working on a new game in the Chrono series. Since the trademark was registered, however, many of the people who worked on the other games in the series departed Square, and the trademark expired in the U.S. on November 13, 2003; the European Union trademark expired on December 14, 2011; and the Japanese trademark expired on July 26, 2012. Although fan interest remains high for a sequel and a remake of Chrono Trigger has been made, no announcements have been made by Square Enix either supporting or rejecting the idea of making another sequel.
