Disney Dreamlight Valley Patch Notes Reveal Free and Paid Changes Arriving This Week

The game’s new update arrives on July 9th. 

A new update is coming to Disney Dreamlight Valley on July 9th, and developer Gameloft has revealed everything players can expect to see. This update is largely focused on the second half of The Storybook Vale paid expansion. Buyers have been waiting since late last year to see how the story reaches its conclusion, and to add some new Villagers to their Valley. However, that’s not the only thing players can expect to see with this update. Disney Dreamlight Valley‘s base game will also be getting several bug fixes, regardless of whether or not the expansion has been purchased.

Several of the bug fixes in this week’s update relate to the Mysteries of Skull Rock, which was the Disney Dreamlight Valley update released in mid-June. Notably, players can expect to see fixes tied to both Peter Pan and the Forgotten. Aurora and Maleficent are the big newcomers arriving in the second half of The Storybook Vale, and while they’ll be exclusive to those who buy the expansion, Gameloft has outlined some new Premium Shop additions inspired by both characters. Those will be available to everyone, with the caveat being that they must be purchased using Moonstones. Full patch notes from the game’s official website can be found below:
