Disney Dreamlight Valley roadmap shows multiple free updates

Disney Dreamlight Valley is currently in a paid Early Access phase. Those with Xbox Game Pass can dive right in with a version akin to the Standard Founder's Pack. Everyone else will need to buy one of the various Founder's Packs to play.

The game is said to be moving to a free-to-play status in early 2023, but not much else has been revealed. Until then, only Early Access players have anything to look forward to in terms of content and updates.

The roadmap has been laid out, with proceedings beginning at the Early Access launch. Coming in Fall 2022 will be the first update with the Lion King, featuring Scar and a continuation of the main story.

Later in the fall, there will be a brand new Toy Story update with the realm and characters from the franchise. This was then followed by a vague announcement of additional free updates coming in 2023.


The Lion King

The Lion King has long been confirmed for Disney Dreamlight Valley. The franchise wasn't anywhere to be found in the opening days of the game, however. Well, it is now official that Fall 2022 will see Scar come to the title.

Fall has just started so this could truly be added any day now. The road map also says "more surprises," so be hopeful for other Lion King characters, cosmetics, furniture, and story content.


Toy Story

Toy Story was revealed for Disney Dreamlight Valley during the D23 Disney and Marvel Games Showcase. This will bring a new realm along with Woody and Buzz to the game.

The realm looks to be Bonnie's room, the young girl that was gifted the toys from Andy as he went off to college. There were also glimpses of Toy Story-themed outfits and furniture in the reveal. Expect "more surprises" with this update as well.


What could come in 2023?

Nothing is official until it is revealed directly by the developers of Disney Dreamlight Valley, but dataminers have found so many characters that may eventually come to the game.

With the likes of Buzz, Woody, Scar, and others from their respective franchises on the list, there may be some truth to them. This means the free updates coming in 2023 could introduce new franchises with characters, realms, and items.

These include the likes of Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland, Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, Monsters Inc., The Incredibles, Hercules, and Lilo & Stitch. Notably, cosmetics for The Incredibles are already in the game and Stitch can be seen on the loading screen.

Expect more details about any 2023 Disney Dreamlight Valley updates once the Lion King and Toy Story content has been added to the game. They'll surely want players to anticipate the new year.
