Trinity Trigger

The game plays as an action role-playing game similar to Secret of Mana. The player maneuvers a character to explore environments, purchase equipment and weapons in towns, and battle monsters to progress the game. A core gameplay component is collecting "Triggers", small creatures that transform into usable weapons for party members. The game features local multiplayer, but not online multiplayer.

The story takes places in the fantasy world of Trinitia, in ancient times, there was a battle over the control of the world between the "Gods of Order" and "Gods of Chaos". The gods choose humans to fight as warriors on their behalf, to determine control. The story follows the adventures of three main characters - Cyan, Elise, and Xantice. Cyan, an average person from a small peaceful village, learns that he has been chosen by the "Gods of Chaos" to be the "Warrior of Chaos". Cyan sets off on a journey to learn what this means, and what he has to do, alongside childhood friend Elise.

The game's existence was first teased on May 20, 2022, under the codename Project Tritri, with a website that listed development staff and some core themes of the game. The website noted the goal of the game was to create a traditional JRPG that video game players of the 1990s would find nostalgic and fun. Numerous key staff involved in other JRPGs were noted to be recruited for the project. Examples include Nobuteru Yuuki, previously involved with Chrono Cross and Trials of Mana, working on the game's world design, Hiroki Kikuta, previously involved in multiple entries in the Mana series as music composer, and Atsuko Nishida, character designer of Pokémon, as a designer.

Multiplayer was included so adults who played similar games in the 1990s could play the game alongside their children or other younger video game players. While the game's official name reveal was scheduled for a week later on May 26, it was instead leaked early on May 23 by Japanese retailer Bic Camera.

Trinity Trigger received "mixed or average reviews" according to review aggregator Metacritic. Famitsu gave the game a review score an aggregate score of 31 out of 40, stemming from four score of 7, 8, 8, and 8 out of 10. RPGamer's demo review praised the game, comparing it favorably to the Mana series, noting that Trinity Trigger's similarity to Mana is comparable to that of FuRyu's The Alliance Alive to the SaGa series.
