Disney Dreamlight Valley News

Now that it has fully launched, Disney Dreamlight Valley multiplayer is finally available for all players. Though we'd known co-op was in Dreamlight Valley's future, we'd been waiting to find out exactly how it works. At the moment, multiplayer activities are pretty limited in Disney Dreamlight Valley, unfortunately. I'm definitely hoping that Gameloft will expand multiplayer features in the future because at present there isn't actually much playing to be done together...

[h3]Hey Valley Villagers![/h3]

We’re excited to celebrate Disney Dreamlight Valley leaving Early Access with a jam-packed new update, full of content and features that have been heavily requested by you, our amazing community!

This blog will break down the content available today for all owners of Disney Dreamlight Valley. If you’re looking for more information about the expansion pass – Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time – also launching today, check out our recent blog here!

[h2]Welcome Jack Skellington![/h2]
You’ve seen Realm Doors. You’ve seen secret doors. But have you ever seen a… tree door?

A mysterious tree has appeared in the Valley with a strange knocking sound emanating from inside. We won’t spoil the fun of what happens next, but all roads lead to The Master of Fright, Jack Skellington, arriving in Disney Dreamlight Valley!

Highly requested by our community and first revealed in the recent Disney Dreamlight Valley Showcase, this familiar face from Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas arrives just in time to spread some holiday magic of his own in your Valley. Introduce him to your other Villagers (we’re pretty sure he’d love Fairy Godmother’s house) and get ready for some holiday hijinks!

[h2]Royal Winter Star Path[/h2]
We just snow you’re going to love this one.

Celebrate the wonder of winter with our latest Star Path! You’ll find plenty of reasons to bundle up and head outside as you complete seasonal duties, from building your own snowman family, to catching an Arendellian delicacy. Each of these will earn you Royal Winter Tokens.

Redeem these tokens to claim a delightful bounty of rewards that will have you shivering with glee! From a Snowman Racoon animal companion to fawn-tastic cosmetics, there’s bound to be something to get anyone into a festive mood!

You can also expect new additions to the in-game Premium Shop to further complement your frosty new décor!

[h2]The Valley is More Fun with Friends[/h2]
Say hello to the newest way to play Disney Dreamlight Valley!

After helping you unlock the DreamSnaps feature, it seems like Vanellope has spent her free time adventuring across the Valley and has made an exciting discovery! Join her on a quest once again to find yourself the proud owner of a Valley Visit Station! You’ll be able to interact with it to enable visits to your Valley and visit other players’ Valleys*†!

To open your Valley for visits, interact with the Station to open a connection. You will receive a unique code that you can share with your friends. From there, they simply need to input this code on the Start Menu to complete the connection. Once done, you can close the connection from the same terminal. Up to 3 friends can visit your Valley at a time.

If you would like to visit a friend’s Valley, simply input their uniquely generated code from the Start Menu.

While participating in multiplayer, all players can pick up items dropped in the Valley‡, enter player homes and Scrooge McDuck’s Store, and change their outfits and accessories. Speaking of Scrooge’s Store, make sure to let your friends know what’s in stock in your Valley to help them complete their collections!

An additional incentive to use the multiplayer feature is a new resource called Pixel Shards! These crystalized clumps of “online energy” can only be found during a visit to your friend’s Valley and are used to craft two special new items:

• Pixelized Cooking Flame: Power up your cooking with this buff or opt for the even more efficient Superior buff! When used, the next five (or twelve, if you opt for the Superior version) meals you cook will have their output doubled.
  
• Glitchy Pixel Duplicate Pack: Simplify the crafting process with these special items! Depending on the size of pack you create, you will receive five or twelve “Glitchy Pixel Duplicates,” which can be used in place of required ingredients – sort of like a wild card – in many crafting recipes.
  

[h2]Get Up to Date on the Latest Patch Notes[/h2]
While we may have left Early Access with this update, we’re still just as committed to improving the Valley based on your feedback! In particular, the team’s been busy behind the scenes fixing bugs and issues thanks to your detailed reports. For a list of fixes and improvements that are included in this update, check out latest patch notes here.

As always, should you run into any issues while playing Disney Dreamlight Valley, we first recommend that you check out our known issues here. If you don’t see the issue you’re running into, you can get in touch with our Support team via our contact form. Running into issues with a certain quest or objective? Check out our friendly Discord Community for some Disney Dreamlight Valley tips and tricks!

* Multiplayer requires an internet connection.
† While Disney Dreamlight Valley supports cross-play between Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Mac, PC, and Apple Arcade platforms, PlayStation users can only engage in multiplayer with other PlayStation users.
‡ Quest items, expansion items, pouches and unique items cannot be picked up by visiting players.

Welcome, Valley Villagers… to Eternity Isle!

Get dressed in your best explorer outfit, pick your most adventurous animal companion, and pack a few pumpkins for good measure. You have an incredible journey ahead of you when Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time launches next week on December 5th!



While the Valley is no stranger to Night Thorns, villains, or peculiar potatoes, it looks like there’s a disturbance in town. This time, though, it’s in the form of Time Anomalies and… a hologram of Jafar?! You’ll start your new Quest in this expansion with an investigation in the Plaza, where you’ll receive an invitation to visit Eternity Isle. It looks like Jafar’s been cooking up his own brand of trouble while you’ve been dealing with the Forgetting. Though the Isle may seem far away, the Dream Castle has been hiding the secret to getting there all this time. Have a chat with Merlin to uncover a magical new area that will grant you access to this land that’s been lost to time.

Of course, arriving on the Isle is the easy part and some friendly faces will also brave the journey to help! Discover new recipes with Remy to keep you energized, build a Stall for Goofy so you can cultivate exotic new fruit, and even set up shop for Scrooge McDuck. What, you thought he wouldn’t find a way to capitalize on your adventure?

Even though Night Thorns haven’t taken over the Isle, you’ll contend with new, equally meddlesome phenomena. Time Rifts and Swirling Sands can be found on your Quest to discover every nook and cranny of this new land, but you’ll have some new tools to help.



Arriving on the shores of Eternity Isle, the first new Biome you will explore is Ancient's Landing. Once a port town that used to host an ancient civilization, you’ll find it in ruins—likely due to experiments on the manipulation of time. Breathe new life into it by rebuilding a marketplace or by moving your Villager’s homes over!

The next two Biomes to explore used to be one, but are now split in half by a time dilation caused by Jafar’s experiments. Will you choose to travel to the desert sands of the Glittering Dunes, or beat the heat in the lush and verdant Wild Tangle? Expect to find new challenges and secret areas in each Biome—as well as plenty of space to transform them into a new home for you and your Villagers!



Each Biome comes with its own unique flora and fauna. This means new decorative plants and rocks await the avid decorator, and new vegetables and fruits await the Valley foodies. Each Biome also features a new animal critter, with different color variants, that would love to join you as your next animal companion!



Previewed in our Showcase, your magical toolbox is getting an upgrade! Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time introduces the Royal Hourglass—a Tool of equally incredible beauty and function. You’ll find this relic of times past on Eternity Isle, and once equipped, it will empower you with a new form of magic that’s bound to help you overcome obstacles, hunt for treasure, and even craft new objects!



Speaking of crafting, you’ll also find a new way to create items on the Isle: the Time Bending Station! Combining the magic of your Royal Hourglass with this station will allow you to create Quest items, Ancient Machines, and other exciting objects to help you on your journey, and of course, decorate your Valley. You’ll also be able to upgrade your Royal Hourglass here, so don’t forget to visit from time to time!

But wait—what’s an Ancient Machine, you say? Using technology from the Isle’s mysterious past, you’ll be able to increase your efficiency around the Valley. These Machines will not only help you cook faster but also automate gardening and other tasks so that you can maximize the "pumpkin to pumpkin puff" pipeline.





In addition to the familiar faces you’ll encounter on your travels through the Isle, this expansion introduces a cast of new Villagers to befriend and discover new stories with:

- EVE joins you as the ever-watchful guardian of the Royal Hourglass. You’ll need to gain her trust before she grants you access to it—and it’s going to take more than a plant in a boot to win her over. Of course, with every Villager in the Valley, you’ll unlock their own unique and exciting Friendship Quest storylines, and EVE’s begins with a grand reunion with WALL·E.

- While exploring Eternity Isle, you’ll also discover Rapunzel and a very thirsty Gaston. Help one rediscover their love for painting, and treat the other to a non-egg-based meal. Doing so will gain you another two new companions for the journey ahead (we’ll leave it up to you to figure out who is who).

While Act 1 of Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time will bring 3 new Villagers to players’ Valleys, you can expect additional Characters to be added as the expansion story continues. There will be two additional acts released in 2024, bringing new Villagers, stories, and surprises!



New friends, places, critters, and stories await you on Eternity Isle—but that’s not all! We’re introducing a brand-new way to strengthen your Friendships with your favorite Villagers: Scramblecoin!



This easy to learn but difficult to master board game can be played with your Villagers and includes a wide range of Disney and Pixar characters as game pieces that ensure every game you play is unique. Collectors can also rejoice—you’ll be able to discover and craft new game pieces with their own attributes and abilities using the Time Bending Station.



We’re so excited to see everyone’s enthusiasm for the Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time expansion pass and intend to celebrate the first players to land on Eternity Isle’s shores! All expansion pass owners who check their in-game mailbox from December 5 to December 12 will be able to claim two exclusive bonuses—a Jester Monkey and a royal costume.

Additionally, ALL players who check their in-game mailbox between December 5 and December 19 will be able to claim two more exclusives—a Dreamlight Gaming Chair and a Dreamlight Valley's Savior Jacket.

See you in the Valley, and on the Isle!
