Disney Dreamlight Valley Announced

Have you ever wanted to live alongside Disney princesses and other characters? Games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Stardew Valley talk about starting a new life in a new place, but Disney has taken this to a new level. Disney has announced a new free-to-play Life-Simulation game called Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Here is what the press release has to say about Disney Dreamlight Valley. “Fans are invited to create their personalized avatar and embark on an enchanting journey alongside some of Disney and Pixar’s most beloved characters. Players can be the first to experience Disney Dreamlight Valley this summer as part of Early Access with the purchase of a Founders Pack or by being an Xbox Game Pass member ahead of the game’s launch in 2023.

Arriving in the dream world of Dreamlight Valley, players will embark on an enchanting quest to restore a once-idyllic village now desolate and full of Night Thorns after a mysterious event called The Forgetting. Uncover the mysterious secrets that led you to this new world and explore diverse realms inspired by classic Disney and Pixar worlds, while helping the iconic inhabitants of the town recover their lost memories.

In this experience, players will meet and build friendships with beloved characters from Mickey & Friends to Disney’s The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, and Moana to Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story, and more. Dive in and immerse in a multitude of unique individualized story arcs and enjoy activities with some of the village’s most memorable characters, such as whipping up delectable Disney-themed dishes alongside Remy from Disney and Pixar’s Ratatouille inside of your own village restaurant, fishing at the fishing hole with Goofy, or growing vegetables from Wall•E’s garden patch.

Players will be able to design the Disney and Pixar villages of their dreams across multiple unique biomes, ranging from the snowy mountains of the Frosted Heights to the Peaceful Meadow and beyond – with a wealth of customization options for their avatars, homes, and villages. The game will feature an ever-evolving list of Disney-princess-inspired ballgowns, Mickey-adorned streetwear, Frozen-inspired antique kitchen designs, and more.”

Luigi Priore, VP of Disney and Pixar Games, commented on the announcement, stating: “Disney Dreamlight Valley will give our fans the opportunity to write their own story and build their ideal Disney and Pixar life within a richly detailed world populated with characters from some of Disney’s most iconic stories. We are excited to hear feedback from our audience throughout the development of this title as we collaborate with the talented team at Gameloft to bring Disney Dreamlight Valley to life.”

Additionally, Manea Castet, Game Manager of Disney Dreamlight Valley at Gameloft Montreal commented, stating: “Our development team is a big family of Disney and Pixar fans and have poured all of our passion into the development of Disney Dreamlight Valley, especially in the way we depict characters and their story arcs. We can’t wait for fans to join the Early Access this summer and help us bring this new ever-evolving Disney and Pixar-inspired world to our excited community.”

The Early Access period for Disney Dreamlight Valley will be available for all platforms, including PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. You’ll have to buy a founder’s pack to get access to the game prior to the launch in 2023 though.
