Disney Dreamlight Valley

Animal Crossing x Disney?

> PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch
> Paid early access (all formats) from 6 Sep 2022


Disney wrote:Disney Dreamlight Valley is a hybrid between a life-sim and an adventure game rich with quests, exploration, and engaging activities featuring Disney and Pixar friends, both old and new.

Once an idyllic land, Dreamlight Valley was a place where Disney and Pixar characters lived in harmony—until the Forgetting. Night Thorns grew across the land and severed the wonderful memories tied to this magical place. With nowhere else to go, the hopeless inhabitants of Dreamlight Valley retreated behind locked doors in the Dream Castle.

Now it’s up to you to discover the stories of this world and bring the magic back to Dreamlight Valley!

Starting on September 6, 2022, Disney Dreamlight Valley will be available in Early Access for players who purchase a Founder's Pack or have an Xbox Game Pass membership ahead of the game's free-to-play launch in 2023.

I've been watching a few vids about the game and... it looks pretty good :shifty: . It has an Animal Crossing-type of feel with multiple characters and activities that you tackle on a daily basis. Of course, being Disney, there is potential for a huge range of characters, clothing and items to be introduced and I'm keen to find out more!

Disney AND free-to-play? What could possibly go wrong!

Right now, because I've been watching the vids and building up hype, I'm thinking about buying a Founder's Edition and playing from 6 September... :shifty: .

I have often wondered if we should consider doing GRcade led interventions.

If you've got an Xbox, wouldn't it be cheaper to sign up for 3 months of Gamepass?

I think Jawa is a Sony Pony. And a Nintendood.
And, most importantly, a Commodork :datass:

Yes... yes... and yes!

"I spit on Xbox!"*

* Not really. I was an Xbox fan throughout the OG and 360 era; and it was 50/50 as to whether I went with PS5 or Xbox Series this gen. I just happened to find a PS5 in stock first!

They charge people to test a bare bones alpha release, before making the game free for everyone when it's complete?! Isn't that... backwards :|

Yeah, it's pretty much a beta release; but if you were to spend out on a Founder's Edition, you get in-game currency plus items (clothing and furnishings) that are exclusive to founders.

The game seems to have a lot of content already, though - take a look at some of the previews on YouTube to see more :-).

I'm kinda feeling the same, shy guy. It *does* look rather sugary and schmaltzy... but fun, too!



A new gameplay vid arrived today; there looks to be plenty of Animal Crossing-type activity with tasks/missions and stuff to do.

If anyone is wondering about what will be included in the Early Access period, the game's official website has comprehensive details. It feels like there'll be plenty to be getting on with!

I've gone for it... pre-ordered on Switch!

Looking forward to checking it out on 6 September :-). I think it'll deliver an on-going adventure that I'll dip into each day; similar to Animal Crossing.

Haha, I've not played any games in the Kingdom Hearts series but I'm aware of it's apparent reputation for very convoluted plots!

Are you thinking about trying out Dreamlight Valley, Orange? Maybe holding off until the free-to-start version arrives next year?

Are you still considering diving into the Valley, shy guy?

I found this gameplay footage from GamesRadar. Exploration, missions, crafting, cooking... it's all there!
