Gameloft is preparing for a big announcement tomorrow when the publisher reveals its plans for Disney Dreamlight Valley in 2023. The game officially launches later this year, but the early access version of Disney Dreamloft Valley is available now.Disney Dreamlight Valley is a life-sim adventure game reminiscent of Nintendo’s Animal Crossing series and featuring popular characters from Disney and Pixar. After falling asleep while visiting their childhood home, player characters wake up having been transported to the titular Dreamlight Valley. Once home to a community of Disney and Pixar characters, many returned to their home dimensions after their leader disappeared. Unfortunately, those who stayed started losing their memories due to the influence of strange vines called Night Thorns, and it’s the player’s job to clear them out and rebuild the town.Disney Dreamlight Valley developers teased players with a cryptic tweet on the game’s official Twitter account. The tweet didn’t reveal much, telling Dreamlight Valley fans to prepare for their first look at what the game has in store for the first half of 2023. The big reveal was only 24 hours away when the tweet went up Tuesday at 11 AM Eastern/8 AM Pacific. So while the teaser didn’t offer much new information, Disney Dreamlight Valley players don’t have very long to wait before finding out what Gameloft has in store.
Most fans were excited by the news, showing their enthusiasm with various gifts, mainly but not exclusively featuring Disney characters. Other Disney Dreamlight Valley fans requested new characters or features, such as letting players change the doors inside their house, and bug fixes. There was also one somewhat sarcastic reply from a player who lost all game progress due to a previous update.
Disney Dreamlight Valley’s 21 characters include Disney classics like Micky and Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, and Scrooge McDuck. Players can also meet Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff from Frozen, Ariel, Eric, and Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Buzz and Woody from Toy Story, Tangled’s Mother Gothel, Moana and Maui from Moana, The Sword in the Stone’s Merlin, Remy from Ratatouille, The Lion King’s Scar, Stitch from Lilo & Stitch, and the titular robot from WALL·E.
Some fans on Twitter were hopeful that Gameloft’s plans for 2023 include adding Belle and Cinderella to Disney Dreamlight Valley, both of whom are set to appear in the final release. Other suggestions included Princesses Jasmine and Snow White, Rapunzel and Flynn from Tangled, and The Lion King’s Simba and Rafiki. There were also requests for characters from more niche Disney films like Kida from Atlantis and Treasure Planet’s protagonist Jim.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available in early access for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
