Hey Valley Villagers!

Get ready for double the fun, and twice the excitement with two content releases today – our twelfth free update, “Dapper Delights”, and “Treasures of Time” – Act III of the Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time expansion pass – available to all expansion pass owners.

This begs the question: will you start your next adventure in the Valley, or on Eternity Isle? Whichever you choose – you’re in for a treat! Each content update brings with it a new Villager, thrilling furniture, and dazzling cosmetic items for your Avatar. Our “Dapper Delights” Star Path also begins today – injecting your time spent in the Valley with even more content to complete and rewards to discover!

Dapper Delights abound in our latest update!

[h2]Tantalize your taste buds at Tiana’s Palace![/h2]
Originally announced in our 2023 Showcase Stream, Tiana finally makes her way to Disney Dreamlight Valley! But, before you can get cooking, you’ll need to do some questing in the Glade of Trust first…

There, you’ll find a mysterious cookbook – something you should ask the Valley’s ‘littlest chef’ about! Through the magic of cooking, sharing memories, and of course, a little bit of Dreamlight, Tiana will join your Valley – bringing with her not only new quests and friendship rewards, but her restaurant, Tiana’s Palace, alongside plenty of flavorful recipes for you to cook up and share with your Villagers!



Of course – that’s not arriving with the Valley’s latest Disney Princess! Tiana is dabbling in takeout dining and will sell a selection of pre-made meals at her Meal Stall – the perfect place to chow down for any Valley Hero on the go.

[h2]Be the Bee’s Knees with new Star Path fashions![/h2]
Bring the roaring twenties style n' swing to your Valley with the ‘Dapper Delights’ Star Path! Expect to cook up fanciful meals and spend time with Tiana to complete new duties to claim ‘Lily pad Tokens’ that can be redeemed for flapper-fashions, art nouveau furniture – and even a dapper look for Donald Duck.

Scrooge McDuck’s Store also receives new stock with the addition of some clothing items and furniture arriving from Realms – and even the Store’s furnishings themselves!

[h2]Revel in regal-realness with a new bundle![/h2]


Just in time for World Princess Week (Aug 25th-31st) – add some seaside splendor to your Valley with a new Premium Shop Bundle! You’re cordially invited to tap into your inner Disney Prince or Princess with exclusive royal fashions and hairstyles - Ariel also joins in on the dress up fun with a Dream Style inspired by her classic pink gown from Disney’s The Little Mermaid.

Your Player Home also gets the royal treatment with a new House Dream Style along with interior and exterior furniture items – all set for you to decorate and transform your Valley or player home into a little piece of Atlantica.

[h2]Bridging your Valleys with cross-play – and other Community-Driven features![/h2]
We’re thrilled to enhance your Disney Dreamlight Valley play sessions with a bounty of new features and improvements, inspired by feedback and suggestions from our Community! Thank you to everyone who continues to participate in sharing their thoughts with us on our social media posts or surveys. Here are just a few of the highlights arriving in this update, as requested by players like you!

[h3]PlayStation cross-play is HERE! *†[/h3] All players, regardless of platform, can now participate in multiplayer play! We can’t wait to see your selfies from your shared Valley Visit adventures.



[h3]Wardrobe and Furniture Mode Improvements galore![/h3] In addition to the much-requested search bar, you can now mark items in your Furniture and Wardrobe menus as favorites; pushing items to the top, or hide those you aren’t currently vibing with.

[h3]Save your faves! Outfit presets are HERE![/h3] Save up to four outfits and name them in the Wardrobe Menu, enabling you to quickly swap between you favorite ‘fits.

[h3]Upgrade your patio with updates to Remy’s Special Deliveries![/h3] We loved seeing everyone engaging with this new feature – based off of your feedback, deliveries will now reward additional Wrought Iron, and we’ve lowered the amounts of materials required to craft certain tables and chairs.

… and that’s not all! Be sure to check out our full Patch Notes here for even more features and improvements arriving in Dapper Delights!

* While Disney Dreamlight Valley now supports cross-play between all platforms, cross-save between PlayStation and other platforms is not available currently.
† Multiplayer requires an internet connection, and may require an active subscription to online services, depending on what platform you use. See here for more information.

Experience the Final Act of Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time!


It’s time to return to Eternity Isle as the story continues, and concludes, in the Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time expansion pass! The clock is ticking in Act III – “Treasures of Time” – and it’s going to take plenty of ingenuity and imagination to foil Jafar’s plans for good.

If you’re just joining us on your Eternity Isle adventures, or you need a recap – we’ve got you covered. The Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time expansion pass opens a whole new world to play in filled with brand new quests, Villagers, features, and even a new tool – the Royal Hourglass. All set in a mysterious, time-forgotten land, its epic journey rolls out in three acts – the final act arriving TODAY!

[h2]Treasures of Time[/h2]
Our story left off with a Jafar stealing the Spark of Imagination – causing the sky to break… again. The appearance of these sky rifts not only threatens Eternity Isle, but your Villagers, as well...
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

It’ll be a race against time to turn back the effects of Jafar’s schemes – but you won’t be alone. Your Eternity Isle companions will aid you with their own imaginative ideas, helping you to finally enter Jafar’s Palace. With plenty of puzzles and surprises inside, it’s up to you to uncover the rest of the story – and a fitting end to all of Jafar’s machinations.

[h2]A surprising new friend…[/h2]
Of course, Disney Dreamlight Valley is a home to heroes and villains alike, and it won’t be long until the help of a certain royal vizier is needed. After the events of “Treasures of Time”, Jafar joins your Valley as a companion with his own friendship quests, rewards, and charismatic charms.

Scramblecoin enthusiasts also add more magic to their boards with a new Jafar figurine – his tendency towards the unpredictable eking through with a playstyle that changes every turn it’s on the board.

Valley Vignette: What’s Next for Disney Dreamlight Valley



Welcome Valley Villagers! I’m Joshua Labelle, the Creative Director of Disney Dreamlight Valley.

I’m delighted to celebrate almost two years of living magically with you, and to talk about some of what the future has in store for the Valley.

Thank You for Two Years of Living Magically!




Since we launched Disney Dreamlight Valley, we have added a ton of exciting content for you to enjoy. In 2024 so far, we’ve introduced two free Realms and five new free characters, alongside an expansion pass that added even more characters, quests, furniture, and clothing. We’ve also made highly requested improvements to Scrooge McDuck’s Store, Furniture Mode, and DreamSnaps.

Today, we will unveil a bit more of what 2024 has in store, while reaffirming our dedication to listening to your feedback and making continual improvements to the game.

The End of One Roadmap is Just the Start of Another!


First hinted at in our last roadmap, we’re so excited to bring Tiana to the Valley in our next free content update this August, alongside Tiana’s Palace, new outdoor décor, and a Star Path that will bring a touch of 1920’s class to your village.

Alongside the addition of Tiana, our expansion pass – Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time – will also come to an epic close as part of this next update. You’ll venture deep into Jafar’s palace to put a stop to his schemes, alongside a few more exciting surprises. We’ll have more to share about this exciting update in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

As we approach the end of our current roadmap, we know you’re eager to hear more about the future of the game. We invite you to check out our roadmap for the rest of 2024 below!



Our October update will be smaller in scope and shorter, with a focus on fixes and quality of life improvements to make your game experience smoother and more enjoyable as we ramp up to a bigger update later in the year. But that doesn’t mean the update won’t have some exciting surprises and new content as well!

We’re excited to announce that this update will also bring a beloved duo to the game: Timon and Pumbaa from Disney’s The Lion King! Return to The Lion King Realm to find new surprises and bring the pair back to your village. With a little aid from the Forgotten, you’ll help Timon and Pumbaa face down an invasion of Night Mites, a nasty new problem connected to Night Thorns and the Forgetting.

Later in the year, we’ll bring you another exciting Showcase, where we’ll reveal some big surprises still to come in 2024 (hopefully the teaser in the roadmap will tide you over!), alongside information about our 2025 roadmap.

Our Commitments to You About the Future of the Game


Without spoiling too much about the future, we wanted to outline a few commitments that we plan to keep to you, our players, moving forward.

[h2]A Valley That Evolves Around You[/h2]

Last year, we promised to keep delivering free content updates that add new characters, Realms, clothing, furniture, and more surprises. That promise is as important today as it was then, especially when we look at new Villagers.

Recent surveys have played an important role by providing us insight into what you’d like to see in Disney Dreamlight Valley and 2025 is already shaping up to be a year full of exciting surprises.

Between the current roadmap and the surprises still to come in our Showcase, there’s a lot to be excited about as Disney Dreamlight Valley continues to grow!

[h2]Using Your Feedback to Constantly Improve[/h2]

Beyond growing the game with new content, we’re also focused on listening to your hopes and dreams about existing features and how they can be improved. From decorating to organizing your wardrobe and furniture to improving Photo Mode, we’re going to dedicate more time in the next year to making the features you know and love even better.

Scrooge McDuck's Store is a great example of this commitment. We have heard so much about the importance of this feature to your daily routines. We have improved the algorithm and layout to help you see more unique furniture, while also providing more items in the store with recent updates. We’re excited to continue providing improvements and new items – perhaps even some new clothing – to the store in future updates.

For the rest of 2024, we will have a strong focus on delivering more highly requested improvements like this.



For instance, look out for big improvements to our Furniture and Wardrobe menus in our next update. The update will include some of our most highly requested features to help you better sort through and manage your items – do you have any guesses?

We’ve also heard that your Valleys are getting a little, uh, crowded! We’re working on new, free features that will help to give you much more space and freedom to decorate.

We sincerely thank you for your patience as we listen to your feedback and work to make the game a better experience.

[h2]Giving You More Ways to Play Together… Or Keep Your Cozy Solo Experience[/h2]

Some Disney Dreamlight Valley players love adventuring to other Villages, working together with friends to complete goals, and sharing their creativity with each other. Others come to the Valley for a cozy solo experience. No matter which way you prefer to play, we want to make you feel welcomed and rewarded as part of the community.

Coming in the next update, cross-platform multiplayer will arrive for PlayStation consoles. This means PlayStation users will be able to play with friends on other platforms, visit their villages, share Touch of Magic designs, and engage in DreamSnaps challenges. Watch out for cross-save on PlayStation consoles to be added later this year!

In 2025, we will be adding even more ways to play together. But don't worry if you prefer playing solo – these new features will still support you and be just as rewarding.

In Closing…


It’s an honor to work with the immensely talented team behind Disney Dreamlight Valley. We’re not just game developers – first and foremost, we’re superfans of the game, the genre, and Disney.

Our entire team is just as excited as you for every new character, clothing, and furniture, inspired by a lifelong love of Disney and Pixar stories and trips to Disney Parks.

As for me, I was that kid who knew every single line of Disney’s Aladdin by heart, wore out my VHS of The Lion King, and would try to find evidence of my Woody and Buzz Lightyear toys moving around my room when I wasn’t looking.

I’m still that kid at heart, and I hope that our game brings out that kid in you, whether it's through the magic of Disney or achieving peak life-sim coziness.

Each update, we eagerly look forward to your reactions, laugh at your memes and videos, and look for ways to improve the game based on your feedback. We can’t wait to share another year of living magically with all of you.

Stay tuned next week for a preview of our next update and be sure to watch out for our Showcase later this year to find out more about all of the exciting surprises we’ve got in store.

See you in the Valley!
