Since the game is still in Early Access, bugs are constantly present as the Gameloft team regularly provides improvements and adjustments to give players the best experience. Since the development team previously laid out the Disney Dreamlight Valley 2023 roadmap, fans already have a glimpse of what to expect in the coming months. The title has so much potential that if the developer can dig deep into Disney properties, the possibilities are almost endless. Now the latest details for the upcoming update have been announced, discussing many surprising additions.
As announced by Disney Dreamlight ValleyThe full patch notes for the Festival of Friendship have been unveiled on the website. As already indicated, Frozen‘s Olaf will join the game Encantois Mirabel. There will also be a new Star Path to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary. The Premium Shop is also now open as players can collect exclusive items in the shop. The main story also continues with “The Forgetting”. While these are the biggest additions to the game, there’s actually a lot more on the list that will surprise fans.
Familiar characters, locations, and stories are always welcome additions to a title like this. just recently, Disney Dreamlight Valley announced that Lion King Locations and characters will be coming to the game in April via the latest Nintendo Direct. The inclusion of Olaf and Mirabel in the game about the celebration of friendship will please fans of Frozen And Encantobut it will also make the title more interesting for casual gamers by taking it from the Disney library.
2023 is likely to be the year Disney Dreamlight Valley really stands out, it is important for Gameloft to remove all possible hurdles and bugs that the game has. In the process, the game will become more palatable even for non-fans through continuous improvement and introduction of multiple quality-of-life-enhancing features. The free-to-play model is interesting in itself. However, in order to maintain the player base, Disney Dreamlight Valley must dig deep and use many of its resources to reach similar heights animal crossing. Hopefully the Friendship Festival will be a sign of good things to come in future updates.

TOP FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS:
- Kristoff’s vending booth has been slightly redesigned. In previous updates, we’ve made some changes to its booth, aiming to find a balance between making the store more interesting and enticing (e.g. adding iron ingots) and making sure collecting rare materials doesn’t become trivial ( e.g. adding a daily limit). We’ve listened to your feedback — particularly on the transition to charcoal — and we’ve continued to iterate. That’s why we’ve tweaked the settings a bit and brought back something you loved. The daily buy limit for coal has been removed and we’ve increased the buy limit for everything else at the booth (from 3-5 to 10-20).
