Disney Dreamlight Valley is a new life sim in the world of Disney

Farm, craft, and hang out with Disney and Pixar pals

A new competitor in the life simulator genre is bringing some Disney magic. Gameloft has announced Disney Dreamlight Valley, a new life sim adventure for PC, Mac, an💛d consoles set in the magical꧙ world of Disney and Pixar.

Dreamlight Valley looks to have a little bit of everything, from traditional adventuꦑres and hanging out with characters to farming, crafting, and cooking. Players can make customizable avatars and restore a village in the titular Dreamlight Valley.

Along the way꧂, different Disney and Pixar characters will be able to join in and hang out. Building friendships with Disney characters seems like a core part of the game, populating the v🔜illage as more of it is restored.

There are realms to explore featuring various movies. And it looks like the activities can involve certain characters too. In the , you can see Wall-E helping with the garden, Goofy fishing, and Remy getting a whiff of the character’s cooking.

It seems a bit like Stardew Valley meets Disney, which isn’t a bad pitch. Putting all these familiar faces in a world where you can roam around and hang out seems like an obvious fit.

Seeing how the story sections of Dreamlight Valley play out will be neat too. The mentions a story-driven campaign. Characters seem to get their own story arc, with exploration, gift-giving, and side activities built around getting to know the𝓡m.

A family-friendly Disney theme park approach to a Stardew-type game seems pretty alright to me. The customizable avatar aspect is a smart choice too, letting players make their own persona in-game. Really, I’m just psyched for any game where I can cook with Remy from Ratatouille.

Disney Dreamlight Valley hits early access this summer, via a Founder’s Pack or Xbox Game Pass. It’s set to launch into free-to-play sometime next year.
