At the latest Nintendo Direct, Square Enix announcedChrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition. While it has long been a title beloved by fans, people were unsure whetherChrono Crosswould ever get an official remaster. WhenChrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Editionwas revealed, it not only confirmed a long-held belief that the series would inevitably be revisited, it also corroborated a massive Nvidia GeForce Now leak from last year.
While leaks are relatively common in the industry, the scope of theNvidia GeForce Now rumorswas unprecedented. Not only did the list highlight previously revealed titles like theFinal Fantasy 7 Remake, andGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition, it also pointed to the development of other titles likeGears of War 6andTitanfall 3. As more titles revealed in the leak are confirmed, fans are left wondering if the entire list could be accurate. With the reveal ofChrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, that once farfetched possibility seems increasingly likely.

Why the Chrono Cross Remaster Is Important For Nvidia Leaks
When the list of Nvidia GeForce Now titles was leaked, aChrono Crossremaster was not the most likely name on the list to be confirmed. It has long been on many fans' wishlists, but there was not so much as a hint that aChrono Crossproject was on the horizon. Three months after the leak, acrossover betweenChrono CrossandAnother Edenwas announced, and the Nvidia GeForce Now rumors began to gain some traction. In light of the official announcement at Nintendo’s last Direct, the Nvidia leaks seem even more legitimate.
Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Editionstands out because it is among the first more “unexpected” project to be officially announced alongsideprojects likeCrysis 4. While the Nvidia leak already mentioned a handful of games that are now more-or-less confirmed, information on most of these titles was available long before the leak. TheChrono Crossremaster came out of nowhere following a decade of silence for the franchise.
Which Games From The Nvidia Leak Could Be Confirmed Next
It’s likely the next titles to be officially unveiled will be huge announcements. The first and most obvious one isStreet Fighter 6. Currently,Capcom has a countdown on its websitethat is set to end this week. While fans initially believed this could be related to other Capcom franchises likeResident Evil, which is also listed on the Nvidia leaks, the countdown also happens to coincide with the finals of the Capcom Pro Tour - an annualStreet Fightertournament. Unless expectations for Capcom’s countdown are completely unfounded,Street Fighter 6has a chance of being announced tomorrow, confirming yet another major prediction from the Nvidia GeForce Now leaks.
Then, theKingdom Heartsfranchise has its 20th anniversaryofficially hit on July 15, 2025. While it was revealed at the Nintendo Direct thatKingdom Heartsin its entirety would be coming to the Switch asKingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece, migration to a new console hardly feels like enough for such a major milestone. The most fitting reveal would be for Square Enix and Disney to jointly announceKingdom Hearts 4during the anniversary celebrations. If that’s the case, gamers could see the reveal of the next major iteration in both theStreet FighterandKingdom Heartsfranchises within a two-month span. Following the announcement ofChrono Cross' remaster, this seems a perfect way to start 2022 for many gamers.
Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Editionwill release for Switch on May 28, 2025.
