by Rainier on Oct. 29, 2024 @ 6:44 p.m. PDT

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a free-to-play life-simulation adventure game where you can create your personalized avatar and embark on an enchanting journey alongside some of Disney and Pixar’s most beloved characters.

Arriving in the dream world of Dreamlight Valley, players will embark on an enchanting quest to restore a once-idyllic village now desolate and full of Night Thorns after a mysterious event called The Forgetting.

Uncover the mysterious secrets that led you to this new world and explore diverse realms inspired by classic Disney and Pixar worlds, while helping the iconic inhabitants of the town recover their lost memories.

In this experience, players will meet and build friendships with beloved characters from Mickey & Friends to Disney’s The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, and Moana to Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story and more. Dive in and immerse in a multitude of unique individualized story arcs and enjoy activities with some of the village’s most memorable characters, such as whipping up a delectable Disney-themed dishes alongside Remy from Disney and Pixar's Ratatouille inside of your own village restaurant, fishing at the fishing hole with Goofy, or growing vegetables from Wall•E's garden patch.  

Players will be able to design the Disney and Pixar villages of their dreams across multiple unique biomes, ranging from the snowy mountains of the Frosted Heights to the Peaceful Meadow and beyond – with a wealth of customization options for their avatars, homes, and villages. The game will feature an ever-evolving list of Disney-princess-inspired ballgowns, Mickey-adorned streetwear, Frozen-inspired antique kitchen designs, and more.

Hey Valley Villagers!

With thrilling updates to the base game and an expansion pass that transports us to the brand new Storybook Vale, today’s Disney Dreamlight Valley Showcase Stream provided a sneak peek at what lies ahead for the Valley and beyond!

If you haven’t seen it yet, or just want to catch it again, check out the full Showcase Stream above and join us as we dive into all the exciting announcements.

Celebrate Sally’s arrival on December 4th

As many players guessed from our last roadmap reveal – Sally from Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas joins as the latest Villager in our next free update, “Sew Delightful”! 

Bringing her signature patchwork style to the Valley, she arrives not only with exciting friendship rewards, but a thrilling set of quests that include a date night, quilting, and more!

The sky’s the limit with New Features

Expand the limits of your decorating with much-requested features also arriving in our next free update! Teased earlier this year in our Valley Vignette, push the boundaries of your creativity with the introduction of Floating Islands – large areas accessible through the Fast Travel menu once they’ve been unlocked with Dreamlight. Inclusive of their own decoration limits, use these blank canvases themed after each of the existing Valley biomes to design new areas to house your favorite building, Villagers, and furniture items!

We’re sure today’s other décor-related reveal has left you spinning – 16-degree rotation is coming to the Valley! Enjoy rotating not only your furniture, but buildings, landscaping items and more when this feature arrives on December 4th.

A new chapter unfurls in our next Expansion Pass

Launching on November 20th, part one of our next paid expansion, Disney Dreamlight Valley: The Storybook Vale, invites you to make use of your Stardust Port once again!

Be whisked away to the Vale and embark on an enchanting adventure with a cast of new characters including the Lorekeeper – a magical book holding this fantastical land together. However, a happily ever after is a ways off as you discover that discordance between two iconic Disney Villains - Maleficent from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and Hades from Disney’s Hercules, has torn this land apart. 

Causing mysterious phenomenon across The Vale’s three biomes – the Bind, Everafter, and Mythopia – their conflict has yielded Ink seeping out of the very ground and sent the pages of the Lorekeeper near and far as enchanted page pieces called Snippets. 

As you uncover its mysteries, part one of the Disney Dreamlight Valley: The Storybook Vale expansion pass will lead you to encounter the courageous Merida from Disney and Pixar’s Brave, the bold Flynn Rider from Disney’s Tangled, and the fiery Hades. Two additional characters will arrive in part two of the expansion pass when it releases later in 2025.

New friends aren’t the only thing you’re adding to your mystery-solving toolkit. You’ll also gain the advantage of a new tool – the Royal Net – that will enable you to capture the various Snippets that have escaped the Lorekeeper’s pages. 

There’s a lot more to be excited about, so stay tuned for more and check out the expansion roadmap below:
