Hey Valley Villagers!

In today’s blog post, we’re bringing you a first look at the extensive future plans for Disney Dreamlight Valley.

[h2]UNVEILING OUR EXPANSION PASS IN FIRST-EVER SHOWCASE ON NOVEMBER 1st @ 1:00 PM ET (6:00 PM CET)[/h2]
Today, we are excited to announce the arrival of Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time, a paid Expansion Pass coming to Disney Dreamlight Valley this December 5th.



To learn more, we invite you to join us for our first-ever showcase this November 1st at 1:00 PM ET (6:00 PM CET), streamed on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook Live! During the stream, we will dive into the Expansion Pass, showing off this all-new adventure across Eternity Isle where you’ll meet new friends, discover new biomes, and immerse yourself in new gameplay features. In addition, key members of the Disney Dreamlight Valley team will reminisce over their favorite moments from the past year, give you a glimpse at upcoming updates, and unveil much-anticipated multiplayer features.

We can’t wait to share more next week, but ahead of the stream, there are a few other key updates we would like to share today.

[h2]GLOBAL LAUNCH ON DECEMBER 5th[/h2]
Early Access has been incredibly valuable for the entire Disney Dreamlight Valley team. Thanks to your enthusiasm and participation over the past year, we have had the chance to build the game we aspired to, while implementing your feedback to make the Valley experience even more magical. Reflecting on the journey we’ve been on with all of you, we’re so excited to share that on December 5th, Disney Dreamlight Valley will be leaving Early Access.

As we transition to launch, existing players will keep their access to the game, their Moonstones, and their save game.

[h2]AN UPDATE ON FREE-TO-PLAY[/h2]
As we look ahead to the official launch, with the learnings we've gained from Early Access, we’ve made the decision to remain a paid game for the foreseeable future. This means we will not make the transition to be a free-to-play game when we leave Early Access on December 5th.

This choice ensures that Disney Dreamlight Valley will be able to continue delivering on a premium game experience for all players. It's important to us that we maintain our promise to keep delivering free content updates that add new characters, realms, clothing, furniture, and more surprises to your Valley. Purchases requiring moonstones will remain optional, fair, and match the level of quality players have come to expect. Players will still be able to collect free Moonstones via Dream Snaps and Chests, or optionally choose to purchase them.

[h2]LAUNCH GAME EDITIONS FOR NEW PLAYERS COMING DECEMBER 5[/h2]
Moving forward, Founder’s Packs will continue to be available through December 4th. When we transition out of Early Access on December 5th, we’ll be unveiling all-new editions. New players can choose to purchase the core game (with bonus Moonstones) on its own, or opt for the Gold Edition, which includes exclusive cosmetic items, access to the A Rift In Time expansion, and even more bonus Moonstones. Take a look at the exact contents below:



As a thank you to our Early Access players, all unique cosmetic items included in the upcoming Gold Edition will be given free of charge to any player who purchases and claims a Founder’s Pack in-game on or before December 4th, no matter the tier. Not only that, but all Founders will also receive 2,500 Moonstones to celebrate this exciting moment!



[h2]DISNEY DREAMLIGHT VALLEY: COZY EDITION[/h2]
As a final note, the Disney Dreamlight Valley: Cozy Edition, a special retail-exclusive edition, is now available for Nintendo Switch™ across North America. The Cozy Edition will be released globally for PlayStation 5®, PlayStation 4®, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch™ on November 10th. Find out more here: https://disneydreamlightvalley.com/cozy-edition

On behalf of the Disney Dreamlight Valley team, we want to thank all of our wonderful players around the world for their continued, unbridled passion. We’re excited to bring you even more magical experiences for years to come. We’ll see you on November 1st!

Howdy Valley Villagers!

Following up on the Enchanted Adventure update and feedback shared by this community, the team has squashed a number of notable bugs that cropped up in the update’s wake.

As we’ve said before, thank you for taking the time to share your game experiences with us. They go a long way in helping to identify the issues that are impacting the community most, further influencing the direction of hotfixes such as this.

Check out all the details below:

• Fixed an issue which would trigger Game Initialization Error #201 if the game is closed and reopened with either of the Haunted Mansion House Styles set on the main player house. Please note: You are now able to equip the Haunted Mansion House Styles to your heart’s content!
  
• Fixed an issue which caused increased lag within the Beauty and the Beast Realm.
  
• In order to reduce crash instances, we have temporarily capped Xbox Series S and X platforms at 30fps. We are actively investigating further improvements to benefit these platforms and will keep you updated on these developments.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when opening the Map menu.
  
• Fixed an issue in which the entrance to the Beach House House Style was flipped 90 degrees.
  
• Fixed an issue in which several Haunted Holiday Star Path items could be purchased from Scrooge McDuck’s Store for 1 Star Coin.
  
• Fixed an issue which caused the individual tool skins in the Skeletal Tool Set to appear with placeholder names.
  
• Fixed an issue in which some unowned tool skins in the Wardrobe menu display placeholder names.
  
• “Miracles Take Time” quest: Fixed an issue in which the Pumpkin House does not appear in the Forgotten Lands, blocking quest progress.
  
• “The Heart of Dreamlight Valley” quest: Implemented a workaround which should add the missing water to the inventories of affected players. We are continuing to investigate this issue for a fix to the core of the issue.
  
• “The Best Mystery Solver in Dreamlight Valley” quest: Fixed an issue in which the note from the board that players need to examine is unreachable.
  
• Increased resolution of reward previews in the Haunted Holiday Star Path.
  
• Adjusted the eye color of one of Ursula’s eels.

Hey Valley Villagers!

We are just past the one-year anniversary milestone of Disney Dreamlight Valley’s launch! This community – and your Valleys! – have grown into incredibly magical places to be a part of. Thank you for joining us on this journey.

And the adventure has only just begun! The year is not over yet, so look out for more new and familiar stories to explore in the Valley!

[h2]A new Realm door opens![/h2]

Featured in our original key art and trailer, Belle is finally making her way to the Valley – along with Beast! Of course, before welcoming this magical duo, you’ll need to help them reunite through a series of quests in the Enchanted Castle, which exists just beyond the Beauty and the Beast Realm Door. We recommend you don your best furniture-inspired outfit and avoid the West Wing.

[h2]Welcome Belle and Beast[/h2]

Once you invite Belle and Beast to your Valleys, you’ll embark on new adventures with each of them. So, what will this enchanting duo get up to once in the Valley? Well, in the case of the former – Belle is on a mission to find a new book, of course! Journey along with Belle to discover the rich and exciting written histories of the Valley.

As for Beast? Well, he could use a confidence booster. Help him look his beastly-best and plan a romantic date with Belle!

[h2]Don’t forget about The Forgotten[/h2]

While many have already completed the main storyline, The Forgotten’s story is far from over! Once you’ve finished the main questline of Disney Dreamlight Valley, you’ll unlock a short series of quests with The Forgotten to discover more about them and help reintegrate them into the Valley.

[h2]Haunted Holiday Star Path[/h2]



Prepare for plenty of frights and delights in this season’s new Star Path! Trick and treat yourself to various items and cosmetics inspired by Disney’s Hocus Pocus, Pirates of the Caribbean, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Disneyland’s The Haunted Mansion.

The Premium Shop will also get an assortment of new items! Don’t forget to participate in our ongoing DreamSnaps challenges to win Moonstones each week and unlock new and exclusive rewards.

[h2]Ursula’s Transformation Dream Bundle[/h2]



Pond hopping no more – Ursula has finally found her land-legs as Vanessa! Nevertheless, like a fish out of water, she may need some help adjusting to her new form. Fans who purchase her optional Dream Bundle and equip her Vanessa Dream Style will join her on an adventure full of mischief, magic, and maybe stealing a few other characters' voices. It is Ursula, after all!

Fans who complete her new questline will gain an assortment of new cosmetic items and furniture – including her iconic Nautilus Pendant Necklace!

[h2]Halloween returns to the Valley once more![/h2]

Trick-or-treaters delight! Our candy event is returning to the Valley. From October 24th to November 1st, scour your Plazas for colorful candy buckets to unlock Dreamlight duties and their respective prizes. If you participated last year, you’ll still be able to pick up candy buckets – because who doesn’t love a sweet treat?

[h2]Community Based Changes[/h2]

It’s already been one whole year of content influenced by you, our amazing Community! And we’re not stopping there. Here’s a short list of just some of the changes brought to the game, inspired by players like you:

• Your Valley friends are back to their chatty selves! Characters will occasionally have speech bubbles appear as they talk to one another.
  
• Pouch items added to Scrooge Shop rotation. It was never our intention to have some items only available through pink pouches – this bug has been resolved, and you can expect to see items previously found only in pouches (like the coveted Wooden Fruit Stand!) appear on Scrooge’s shelves.
  
• More bang for your buck! Gone are the days of only crafting 1 path or fence – you’ll now receive more pathing and fencing pieces for your crafting materials.
  

We’ve also been busy behind the scenes the taking care of commonly reported bugs and issues. For a full list of what has been included in this Update, please see HERE.
