Despite its cancellation, versions of the game ranging from an alpha to a release candidate have since been leaked onto the internet and can be played through to the end. This cancellation was widely reported in the gaming press, who were largely sympathetic to the project. A few weeks prior to the expected released date, Square Enix sent the developers a cease-and-desist letter for knowingly violating Square Enix's intellectual property, which led to the cancellation of the project. The game reportedly totaled around 35 hours of play time, and had ten alternate endings. The project was in development from 2004–09, with 98% of the game completed. Crimson Echoes concludes by setting up several plot points that were used in Chrono Cross. The project was initially called CT64 and was meant to be a complete remake of the original. It is based on the critically acclaimed Super NES role-playing game Chrono Trigger by the Japanese company Square. The plot includes elements from both official games. Chrono Resurrection, also known as Chrono Trigger: Resurrection, is an unreleased, non-profit fangame developed by North American team Resurrection Games under Nathan Lazur's direction. It is based five years after the events of Chrono Trigger and features all the playable characters from the original game, who come together across different time periods to fight an enemy attempting to change the past. The game, as a ROM hack, runs on the Chrono Trigger game engine and has gameplay similar to the original. 'Singing the Brews: The History & Philosophy of Homebrew Game Development'.

Before the closure of Chrono Resurrection, Lazur had stated that his team had no plans to remake other games after the project's completion and would have liked to develop an original concept based in feudal Japan. He added that to avoid legal issues, developers of fangames should present their polished demos directly to the original publishers so that the products can be handled in a 'more traditional business procedure'. Nathan Lazur, though disappointed, holds no ill will towards Square Enix for protecting its intellectual property, and he has stated that he 'felt honoured to even be recognized' by the company. Several Internet petitions were created by fans to pressure Square Enix into green-lighting Chrono Resurrection none have had any effect, however.
