In addition to sweet new content, you can expect a variety of bug fixes and improvements out of this update that focus on improving quality of life around the Valley, from better efficiency hovering around, to Switch-specific performance improvements.

Disney Dreamlight Valley's favorite robot is getting a dapper upgrade

One of my favorite things about playing Disney Dreamlight Valley is the sheer amount of customization options the simulation game presents me with. If I want to have a bunch of pumpkin-themed furniture strewn around my Valley, I can. I love that Dreamlight Valley lets us express ourselves as individuals, and I also appreciate how that extends to other characters in-game, too. With all of the various upgrade options for other residents in the Valley, this new dapper WALL-E we can get is long overdue and downright adorable.

The Remembering

Hey Valley Villagers!

Over the past year you’ve joined us on a magical journey across Disney Dreamlight Valley from the Peaceful Meadow to the Frosted Heights. With your help (and just a smidge of Dreamlight), you’ve returned the memories of the Valley back to its inhabitants, reunited old friends from distant Realms, and sparked life into even its darkest corners. But, even happy endings take a little time, and there’s plenty of work to do resetting the balance in the Valley. Luckily, you’ll have more than enough help in our latest major content update – The Remembering.
