At the Winter Consumer Electronics Show in January 1992, GamePro reported that an SNES game titled Golden Empire was officially announced by Culture Brain as a follow-up to The Magic of Scheherazade. The magazine made further mention of the game in their coverage of the following year's Winter CES, now titled Golden Empire: The Legend of Scheherazade.
