Everything we know about upcoming Disney Dreamlight Valley updates

The April update will add new content to both the base game and the expansion pass.

In terms of free content, we know a new building called the Boutique is coming. Initially teased as an April Fools Day joke, this shop will allow players to display their Touch of Magic designs, which can be shared during Valley Visits. There will also be weekly design challenges where players can unlock rewards.

The developers have also announced the next Star Path theme is “A Day at Disney.” This was previously teased with the reveal of a new companion called the Peppy Popcorn Squirrel, which will be a Star Path reward. The update will also add the ability to receive mail and gifts from Villagers and the option to use Royal Tools when visiting another player’s Valley.

The roadmap also mentions a new Villager as part of the free update, now confirmed to be Daisy Duck.

This update also adds Act 2 of the expansion for those who have purchased it. Titled “The Spark of Imagination,” this introduces Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and continues A Rift in Time’s storyline.

Beyond that, we know a few exciting features will be coming to Disney Dreamlight Valley later in 2024 thanks to the two roadmaps. Namely, these are the arrival of Tiana and Mulan in the free updates. It’s confirmed Mulan is getting a Realm, while the others might simply be added.

That’s everything you need to know about the upcoming update. While waiting for the next update, take a look at some of our other Disney Dreamlight Valley guides:
