At today's The Game Awards 2023 ceremony, Color Gray Games, the developer behind The Case of the Golden Idol, presented a new trailer for the upcoming sequel, The Rise of the Golden Idol. The game is slated for release in 2024 and will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Netflix.

According to the game's official Steam description,

Three centuries following the unspeakable fate of the Cloudsleys, the legend of the Golden Idol has all but faded. Now it is carried only in small whispers, uttered as an obscene myth.
Some are determined for this to change.

The Rise of the Golden Idol follows a tenacious relic hunter on a quest to unearth the powerful artifact that - if the legend is true - can reshape the world.

As the observer, you must investigate 15 strange cases of crime, death and depravity. Like before with The Case of the Golden Idol, you are free to investigate however you wish and build your own theory.
You must make sense of a grand mystery that unravels across an age of hallucinogens, fax machines, parapsychology and TV guides.

Enlightenment seekers, convicts, chat show hosts and corporate middle management will all have a role to play in the wider mysteries that unfold. Like always, many of these subjects will have their own motives. Some will be carrying more than agendas.
