Some DisneyDreamlight Valley fans are concerned about the future of companions in the life-sim adventure game. The recent Enchanted Adventure update added a variety of content to the game, including a new Star Path for the upcoming Halloween season that is right around the corner.
With the game just celebrating its one-year early access anniversary, Gameloft developers have been at the top of their game, from fixing quest bugs to regular free content updates. These moves from the developers have won over fans who were initially upset at the addition of microtransactions to Disney Dreamlight Valley despite players currently having to pay for early access. And with the Enchanted Adventure update came a refresh of the Premium Shop with a host of new bundles that players can purchase.
A Reddit user by the name of Disimyy posted a screenshot to the Disney Dreamlight Valley subreddit lamenting the new Ghostly “Zero” Fox bundle. The player says that because the bundle does not feature the actual character Zero from Tim Burton’s 1993 hit movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas, they do not have hope that future companions would not be anything but reskins.
However, some players in the Reddit thread said that the Ghostly “Zero” Fox bundle may, in fact, just be a part of Gameloft’s plan. Instead of having the character purchasable rather than the reward of a questline, the release of this item allows a player’s companion to don a Halloween costume like the player can. Other fans said they suspect the reason for the bundle is because the studio may be adding a Nightmare Before Christmas realm in the future as the IP is popular. On the other hand, some believe that the developers may add Jack Skellington with a friendship quest to get Zero, with their evidence for this being how players got Pua from Moana.
While most fans in the thread agree that the costume is an adorable addition to the game, especially in light of Halloween, others are upset about the pricing. The item can be bought for 3,000 Moonstones, the game’s premium currency. Since the store does not offer a 3,000 Moonstone pack, players have two options. They can either purchase the Small Moonstone Pack, which contains 1,200 Moonstones for $4.99 and the Regular Moonstone Pack for $9.99, which includes 2,500 Moonstones. Or they can make one purchase of the Big Moonstone pack, which contains 5,500 Moonstones for $19.99. While players do not need to buy microtransactions to enjoy the game, a lot can be said about the mismatch of pricing for bundles and virtual currency.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is now available in early access on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
