When’s the next Disney Dreamlight Valley update? Release date, roadmap

Disney Dreamlight Valley is constantly bringing new updates with added characters, recipes, and so much more, but the dates can be tricky to find.

Over the last year, Disney Dreamlight Valley fans have enjoyed a lot of great content, including new recipes, Realms, characters, and Star Paths. This new content is what keeps the playerbase coming back for more.

Thankfully, Gameloft are relatively open with its updates, meaning there’s plenty to look forward to. However, one thing that can be hard to find is when the next update will arrive. So, here’s everything we know about the next Disney Dreamlight Valley update, including when it will be released and what content you can expect.

When is Disney Dreamlight Valley’s next update?

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s next update will be released on December 4, 2024. While a specific time hasn’t been confirmed, it’ll usually release at the time all updates do, at 2 PM BST, 6 AM PST, 9 AM EST.

We know the update is called Sew Delightful, and will focus on the release of Sally. You can watch the showcase from the official Disney Dreamlight Valley YouTube channel here.

Along with Sally, we got a teaser regarding the new wintery Star Path, which embraces the “Ethereal Sides of the Season“, showcasing icy furniture, clothing, and a wand that produces snowflakes around you, making it perfect for DreamSnaps.

This update will also bring Floating Islands, extra biomes you can purchase to unleash your creative skills.

If you want new content before December, you’ll need to purchase the Storybook Vale expansion, which drops the Royal Net and more characters to the game.

Disney Dreamlight Valley roadmap

As previously mentioned, Disney Dreamlight Valley is extremely open with its future update plans, meaning we have a handy roadmap to help highlight the upcoming characters, mysteries, Realms, and of course the future of the Rift in Time expansion.

In Late 2024, we’ll be meeting Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas, who finally arrives to meet up with Jack Skellington in the Valley.

The free content map likely teases Aladdin and Jasmine in Early 2025, the Cheshire Cat in Sprint 2025, and lastly, the reveal of the Skull Rock mystery in Summer 2025.
