Gameloft Montreal in collaboration with Disney Games today launched Disney Dreamlight Valley’s eighth free content update plus a brand-new paid expansion, both of which introduce beloved characters, new critters,décor and so much more! In no particular order, we’ve picked 10 of our favorite things you can expect in this update!
1. Welcome The Pumpkin King!
Yes, you read that right! Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, has arrived in Dreamlight Valley! In October, players were able to unlock a few Disney “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas”-inspired cosmetics, furniture pieces, and an animal companion, but this time, Gameloft took it one step further so players can welcome Jack and set up his house in their Valley.
2. Visit Your Friends With Multiplayer
If you’ve bought all the items in Scrooge McDuck’s Store and are looking for something different, with the new multiplayer feature you can visit your friends’ Valleys and have the option to purchase from theirs. Players can host up to three friends to visit their Valley where you can trade resources, enter each other’s homes, and explore how your friends have chosen to decorate their biomes.
3. Brand-New Storyline
Set sail for Eternity Isle, which had been lost in time thanks to Jafar’s meddling with magic, in the Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time paid expansion. Discover many secrets and mysteries as you restore the island, thwarting Jafar’s plans to steal the Spark of Imagination in this brand-new storyline unfolding in three acts.
4. Explore New Biomes
Ancient’s Landing, Wild Tangle, and Glittering Dunes are the three new biomes on Eternity Isle and each comes with its own unique new flora, fauna, and ingredients. Once a port town to an ancient civilization, players will explore the ruins of Ancient’s Landing and rebuild the marketplace with the opportunity to add a new location for Chéz Remy, Scrooge’s Shop and more!
5. Acquire A New Royal Tool
A new storyline also means players will get a new Royal Tool to help them in their quest to stop Jafar. As a result of his experiments with magic, the island is covered in Mist, Time Rifts and Swirling Sands that can be cleared by retrieving the Royal Hourglass.
6. Befriend A Little White Robot
Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time expansion brings new friends! EVE can be found guarding the Royal Hourglass in Ancient’s Landing. Once you gain her trust, players will be roaming the island fixing time rifts and perhaps finding Relics that had been long forgotten. You can also reunite EVE with WALL•E!
7. Have The Best Day Ever With A Long-lost Princess
Since leaving her tower, Rapunzel has been enjoying the grass beneath her feet and fresh air in the Wild Tangle, a lush jungle on Eternity Isle. You’ll unlock her unique Friendship Quests and help Rapunzel rediscover her love for painting and earn rewards inspired by Disney’s “Tangled.”
8. No One Gets Lost Like …
Poor Gaston ran out of water and misses his daily intake of five dozen eggs when he became disoriented in the dry desert lands known as the Glittering Dunes. Once he has been rescued, he’ll offer the player lessons in heroics through his Friendship Quests. After completing his quests players can add new decorations to their homes, including a few wooden antlers.
9. Capybaras! Monkeys! And Cobra Snakes?
New biomes mean new animal critters to feed and befriend. The highly sociable capybaras can be found in Ancient’s Landing, while the mischievous monkeys hang out around the Wild Tangle, and the cobra snakes slither about in the Glittering Dunes.
10. Ancient Machines To Improve Your Daily Tasks
Tired of watering your garden eight plots at a time? Or how about cooking one dish at a time? Stress no further as the Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time expansion brings you new Ancient Machines to improve your daily tasks.
