Golden Idol's Rise: Lemurian Phoenix Arrives This Month

by Patrick May 23,2025

The highly anticipated DLC for *Rise of the Golden Idol*, titled *The Lemurian Phoenix*, is set to launch on May 13th. This expansive new content will bring a staggering five chapters to the game, delving into a gripping narrative that unfolds from a single murder in 1910 and spans across decades. The storyline weaves together elements of cursed treasure and ancient civilizations with contemporary mysteries and murders, making it a compelling continuation of the series.

For those unfamiliar with *Rise of the Golden Idol*, it's a sequel to *Case of the Golden Idol* and offers a unique spin on the murder mystery genre within a point-and-click adventure format. Players are tasked with exploring scenes to uncover keywords that, when pieced together, reveal the who, what, and why behind each crime. The game blends human motives with ancient technology, ensuring that each mystery is unpredictable, save for the certainty of grisly murders and complex enigmas where every character is a potential suspect.

While developer Color Gray Games keeps much of *The Lemurian Phoenix* under wraps, they've teased fans with a cryptogram revealing the titles of the five new chapters: Eternity's End, Ascension, Royal Blood, Revelation, and A Blaze of Glory. These chapter names hint at themes of religious fervor, charismatic gurus, and intense power struggles, promising a thrilling journey for players. *The Lemurian Phoenix* will be available for purchase on May 13th, and it's free for those with the Detective Pass or playing via Netflix Games.
