Disney Dreamlight Valley

Play Now in Early Access!

Hey everyone!

It’s been quite a journey since we shared our first peek at the Valley with you and we couldn’t be happier to share these words: Disney Dreamlight Valley is OUT NOW in Early Access!

If you’ve purchased a Founder’s Pack on PC or consoles, the door to Dreamlight Valley is open and you can begin your magical adventure right away. Haven’t purchased a Founders Pack? Don’t fret, but if you’re an Xbox Game Pass member, the game should be available now as part of your membership.

It also bears repeating that if you launch Disney Dreamlight Valley during its first week – before September 13th at 12:00 AM ET – you’ll earn two delectable bonus rewards: a Mickey Mouse Donut Headband and the ever-adorable Choco Crocodile Animal Companion!



INTRODUCING THE PIXAR FEST STAR PATH



That’s not all there is to celebrate today. Beginning today, we’re excited to kick off the game’s very first Star Path Season, a season-based mission system themed after a host of Disney and Pixar favorites and just in time for Pixar Fest!

As you complete quests around the Valley, you’ll collect tokens that can be redeemed for exclusive Pixar-themed clothing, furniture, and motif items, as well as a brand-new animal companion inspired by Disney and Pixar’s Cars, The Incredibles, Coco, and Up!. Let’s just say you’re going to LOVE the Incredisquirrel! You can also upgrade your Star Path to the Premium track to receive special perks and bonuses by using Moonstones you’ve collected in-game or purchased.

The Pixar Fest Star Path will run until October 11 at 9:00AM ET, so dive in before time’s up. We can’t wait to share details on future Star Paths with you – we’ve seen some of the rewards and they sure are a treat!

Avatar Porting Walkthrough


Hey Valley Villagers!

After seeing your selfies created in the Avatar Designer Tool, we cannot wait to see you all in your own Valleys soon! Before you dive into Disney Dreamlight Valley, we want to walk you through how to port your Avatar from the Avatar Designer Tool to the full game on September 6th.

The first step of porting your Avatar to Disney Dreamlight Valley will be to make sure that your Avatar is wearing exactly what items you want to keep from the Avatar Designer Tool. You can only port one Avatar into the game, so choose your outfit wisely! In addition to the exclusive jersey that will be added to your account, you will retain all clothing that you ported your Avatar with. This includes all Touch of Magic tool designs and motifs used. Any Touch of Magic tool design that is not worn on your final Avatar will not be ported to Disney Dreamlight Valley. Never fear, however! Any motifs or clothing items that you were not able to port over will be available for you to find in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

PlayStation users will be unable to port their Avatar to Disney Dreamlight Valley on September 6th. That said, you can expect to be able to port your Avatar to the game later in Fall 2022 with Update 1.



Looking good! Once you have your final Avatar prepared, head back to the Avatar Designer Tool Menu and select the Avatar Code option. From there, you can generate an Avatar Code that you will need to copy via the button. This code will expire in 24hrs, but can be regenerated.

Avatar Codes are agnostic of the platform they were designed on (ie. An Avatar Code created on the Steam version of the Avatar Designer Tool can be used on all other platforms.).

A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STEAM USERS: Steam users will need to generate their code PRIOR to purchasing Disney Dreamlight Valley on Steam. Please make sure to generate your code before purchasing – once you have purchased a Founder’s Pack Edition on Steam, you will be unable to access the Avatar Designer Tool on Steam.



Once you have copied your code, it is time to head over to Disney Dreamlight Valley! Open the game (or purchase the game if you are a Steam user first!) and choose the New Game option. You will then enter the Avatar creation process. If you would like to port your Avatar from the Avatar Designer Tool, select the Import Avatar button.



On the following pop up, enter your Avatar Code from the Avatar Designer Tool with letters in all caps and no additional spaces.



Select the OK button, and you will get the following dialogue:



Once you have clicked okay, your New Game of Disney Dreamlight Valley will start, and your Avatar will appear as you designed it in the Avatar Designer Tool. You will also be able to find your exclusive jersey in your wardrobe! You will then be able to choose another name for your Avatar – the name you chose in the Avatar Designer Tool will not be carried over to Disney Dreamlight Valley.




Should you wish to go through the Character Creation process natively in Disney Dreamlight Valley, and later decide to import your Avatar from the Avatar Designer Tool, you will be able to do so.
REMEMBER: Steam users will not be able to generate their Avatar Code from the Steam version of the Avatar Designer Tool after they have purchased the game. It is highly recommended to follow the previous steps to import their Avatar BEFORE purchasing the game.
PlayStation users will be able to follow the same steps below after Update 1 in Fall 2022.

To import your Avatar from the Avatar Designer Tool after you have created an Avatar in Disney Dreamlight Valley, head to the Settings Menu in-game, and select the Help tab via the left column. Then, select the Import Avatar button.



On the following pop up, enter your Avatar Code from the Avatar Designer Tool with letters in all caps, with no additional spaces.



Select the OK button, and you will get the following dialogue:


Once you have clicked okay, your in-game Avatar will be replaced with the one you designed in the Avatar Designer Tool. You will also be able to find your exclusive jersey in your wardrobe.

Community Challenge Update

Hey Valley Villagers!



Last week was a huge week for Disney Dreamlight Valley – not only did we announce Founder’s Pack editions and pre-orders opened on some platforms, but we also launched the Avatar Designer Tool. At 37k selfies and counting, our team has been fueled by the creativity of our fans, and we cannot wait for you to have access to the full game on September 6th.

What’s more is the explosion of wishlists and followers on our social accounts! We are happy to announce that as of today, we are able to unlock two more goals of the Community Challenge:

  • 35k Instagram + Twitter followers collectively: We’ll create and gift an iconic Disney Dreamlight Valley Partner’s Statue to all players.
  • 200k total wishlists across all platforms: We’ll add a variety of Villager Skins so you can dress up your Valley Villagers.



We’ve already shared a sneak peek at the Heroic Armor Clothing that was unlocked with one of our previous goals, and our team will get started on concept art for the Disney Dreamlight Valley Partner’s Statue. We hope that we’ll be able to share this with you soon!

As for our unlocked wishlisting goal, we’re now committed to bringing Villager Skins to Disney Dreamlight Valley – all thanks to you! With our Early Access launch around the corner, it is worth noting once again that we are currently focused on core gameplay features, and these bonus features and items will be included later in the Early Access period and after the game officially launches in free-to-play.

With that, there is only one more goal to unlock! With pre-orders open on some platforms, we will also be including those numbers towards our final wishlisting goal. We are so close to unlocking Multiplayer Valley Visits together – will we be able to unlock this goal by September 6th?

Introducing Disney Dreamlight Valley's Early Access!

Hey everyone!

It would be an understatement to say we’re excited for all of you to finally kick off your adventures in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Well, the wait’s almost over – two weeks, to be exact! Whether you’re bringing your own personal magic to the Valley or exploring the Realms of some of your favorite Disney and Pixar characters, you’ll have no shortage of things to see and do when Early Access launches on September 6th.

Like any good story, though, that’s just the beginning! Over the course of our Early Access period, you can expect there to be multiple free updates which will add new characters and customization items, as well as new locales and stories to immerse yourself in. Of course, if you don’t see a character or world you love, fret not. There are surprises aplenty to be expected in both Early Access and beyond!





Throughout development, it has been important to us that we deliver a Day 1 experience that’s as complete and enjoyable as any PC or console life-sim game. As you take your first steps in the Valley, all of the following will be available to discover:

CHARACTERS:

Meet, befriend, and take on quests for a range of characters inspired by Mickey and Friends; Disney’s Frozen, The Little Mermaid, Moana, The Sword in the Stone, and Tangled; and Disney and Pixar’s Ratatouille and Wall•E!

NARRATIVE CONTENT:

In addition to shaping the Valley into your own magical home away from home, you’ll set off on a range of narrative-rich adventures with your favorite Disney and Pixar characters. As of Day 1, the main story of Disney Dreamlight Valley will take around 30+ hours to complete. If you then include all the individual character-focused story arcs outside of this main narrative, you can expect this to take around 70+ hours to complete.

WORLD:

All eight biomes in the Valley – including the four we’ve already revealed – will be available on Day 1 of the Early Access release. As you play, you will unlock them, giving you a chance to discover their secrets, collect crafting materials, harvest fruits and other cooking materials, garden, mine, fish, cook and try to tame all the animals living in the Valley!

CUSTOMIZATION:

As of the Early Access launch, you will be met with an ever-expanding collection of 1000+ furniture and decorations, as well as 1000+ clothing options celebrating a wide range of Disney and Pixar films, including Mickey and Friends; Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Frozen, Lilo and Stitch, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Moana, The Sword in the Stone, Tangled, and Wreck-it Ralph; and Disney and Pixar’s Coco, Lightyear, Monster’s Inc, RatatouilleThe Incredibles, Toy Story, Wall•E, and Up!.



Starting today, you can pre-order or wishlist on your preferred PC and Console platforms. Only by pre-ordering or purchasing any of the Founder’s Pack editions now or throughout the Early Access period, will you be granted access to the base game alongside a set of exclusive Founder’s rewards available only during the Early Access period that you will keep when the game launches free-to-play later in 202.

If you have any questions about Early Access or monetization, we encourage you to visit our FAQ.

We hope you’ll join us starting September 6th! To celebrate the launch, we will be giving away two exclusive cosmetic items to all of our players who play the game during its first week!





While you’ll already have a whole world (and multiple Disney and Pixar Realms) to explore on Day 1 of the Early Access. There’s even more magic on the way!

Over the course of Early Access (and beyond), we will continue to release new content as part of free updates which expand upon the world of Disney Dreamlight Valley. These updates will include the following:


  • New narrative content for the main story and character-specific arcs.
  • New Disney-Pixar Realms to travel to, explore, and unlock the secrets of.
  • New customization items, from new outfits and motifs, to furniture and decorations.
  • New characters to befriend, help out, and invite back to your Valley.


We’ll have more to share soon about the first of these updates, but are excited to share that Disney’s The Lion King and Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story will both be receiving substantial content updates during the first 2 updates of Early Access. Keep your eyes out for more info on this soon!



There’s a lot to chew on here with so much coming on Day 1, so you may be wondering if this is the right time for you to jump into Disney Dreamlight Valley. We hear you, so below we’ve broken down five reasons we think Day 1 is the perfect moment to start making your mark on the Valley!


  1. Get the First Week Bonus! By playing the game at least once during the first week of Early Access, you’ll earn two special rewards: the Mickey Mouse Donut Headband and Choco Crocodile Animal Companion. Just look at the Choco Croc and tell us they aren’t the cutest!
  2. Your voice matters! Over the course of Early Access and beyond, the feedback of the community will play an important role in shaping the game’s future. We want to know what you think, what works, and what could use further refinement.
  3. Be among the first in the Valley! There’s something to be said for experiencing a magical new world for the first time. Begin shaping the Valley and designing your dream looks first.
  4. Collect Star Path rewards! Our first Star Pass will launch on Day 1, so the earlier you join, the more time you have to complete quests and unlock the exciting and exclusive rewards it offers.
  5. Secure your Founder’s rewards. The Founder’s Pack editions will only be available during Early Access, so don’t miss out on getting their exclusive cosmetic rewards.




Our vision for Disney Dreamlight Valley has always been to be a game that will evolve with our fans and is played for years into the future. We want Disney Dreamlight Valley to be the Ultimate Disney and Pixar video game celebration where anyone can join and have fun spending time with all these iconic characters many people grow up with.

Phew! That was a lot! And that’s not even touching on the surprises we have in store for you. There’s a lot to be excited about in Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Early Access and we can’t wait to share more. Until next time, be sure to follow us on our social media channels to stay up to date with each new update, and if there’s a character or world you’d love to see added to the game in the future, let us know!

See you in the Valley (really *soon*)!

Gear up for adventure with a backpack deep-dive!

Inventory systems, often called ‘backpacks’, are used in a multitude of games, and Disney Dreamlight Valley is no exception. Whether you like to keep your items organized, or pick up everything that’s not bolted to the floor, in the Valley you can choose from a vast array of bags and backpacks to suit your style.

Community Manager Rachel here again, bringing you an in-depth look at some of the backpacks you’ll be able to wear in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Your clothing and accessory combinations are only limited to your imagination, and I thought it’d be fun to shed a little light on some of the inspiration behind these items. So get ready to gear up, and read on for more info!



As featured in our announcement trailer, I don’t think anyone will confuse what (or should I say WHO) inspired this backpack. With a number of Disney and Pixar’s Monsters, Inc. characters in Disney Dreamlight Valley, Mike Wazowski was an easy choice when it came to adapting an accessory based on the film because of his round shape. He also has features that are recognizable from a mile away, which made him fun to adapt into a wearable accessory.



Previously we gave fans a look at the 3D in-game models of the Mike Wazowski backpack, but I’m excited to unveil the 2D concept art behind it. When designing items for Disney Dreamlight Valley, our artists sometimes use real-world items to inspire the texture of an item. The use of fabric reference photos assists in the translation of how material textures should be further rendered in 3D. Can you guess what type of fabric may have been used as a reference for our Mike Wazowski backpack?



Next up is our Tangled-inspired bag! This is a relatively simple design compared to a character-shaped bag like the Mike Wazowski backpack. That said, even with a more minimalist design, our team focused on maximizing the details that make this bag easily recognizable as part of the Disney Dreamlight Valley Tangled collection.



While the silhouette of this bookbag isn’t uncommon, the eye-catching embroidery makes this backpack stand out. Our team had fun sourcing the iconic symbols, like the sun, used in Disney’s Tangled. Next time you watch Tangled, see if you can spy all of the symbols that were used on this backpack!



Our team’s vision has always been to give our players the freedom to create their dream Valley and Avatar. Part of realizing that vision was to include many styles of clothing and accessories that would complement each of our player’s unique styles. What I love about this Vanellope Von Schweetz-inspired ita bag, a popular backpack style from Japan, is that while very loud, it’s full of subtle nods to its source of inspiration – Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph!



From the sprinkles to the buttons embossed on the vinyl-like surface, can you figure out what each button symbolizes based on the film?



We’re ending with a completely different and compact backpack design. I know players are already excited to meet WALL•E in the game, and some have even recognized this backpack from the Disney Dreamlight Valley key art.



There were many ideas when it came to designing a WALL•E-inspired bag, from garbage cubes to the boot! The titular character won out though, as his shape was easily adaptable to a backpack. Additionally, we were inspired by WALL•E’s stripe pattern, as seen on his arms, to use on the backpack straps.

Thank you for joining me on this blog! I hope these backpack previews have gotten you excited to gear up for all the adventures to come in Disney Dreamlight Valley, coming to PC and Console in Early Access on September 6th. To make sure you’re up-to-date on when our next exciting blog goes live, be sure to follow our social pages below!

Announcing our first Community Challenge!

Hey Dreamlight Valley Community!



Community Manager Rachel here again and extremely excited to announce -- we're almost exactly one month from the early access launch of Disney Dreamlight Valley on September 6th. Let the official countdown to your first visit to Dreamlight Valley begin! While I know you've all been waiting to #LiveMagically, our Development Team has seen your continued enthusiasm and wishes for specific game features and fan-favorite items to be present in the game. And to acknowledge your support, I'm also ecstatic to share more exciting news -- in addition to the official countdown to early access launch day, we're kicking off a Community Challenge!

So, what is this exactly? Simply put, with your help, we'll commit to adding certain in-game items and game features as the Community unlocks them by following and wishlisting the game on ALL available platforms. While Disney Dreamlight Valley will regularly receive updates that will feature new items and game features for Valley villagers to enjoy, the inclusion of the unlockable additions from player participation in this campaign will be solely thanks to YOU! Keep in mind that we're currently focused on making the game's core components as magical as possible, and these new items, once realized, will be included later in the Early Access period and after the game officially launches in free-to-play.

Here's a sneak peek at the challenge rewards you'll be able to unlock by following and wishlisting Disney Dreamlight Valley:


  • 5k Discord Followers: We’ll create and gift an extraordinary Hero’s Armor Clothing Set to all players.
  • 35k Instagram + Twitter followers collectively: We’ll create and gift an iconic Disney Dreamlight Valley Partner’s Statue to all players.
  • 150k total wishlists across all platforms: We’ll work with you, our Community, to create a new Community Designed Animal Companion.
  • 200k total wishlists across all platforms: We’ll add a variety of Villager Skins so you can dress up your Valley Villagers.
  • 250k total wishlists across all platforms: We’ll add the ability to visit your friend’s Valley’s with Multiplayer Valley Visits.




We're currently so, so close to the first wishlisting goal. As we reach milestones in the challenge, I'll be sure to update you on our progress of realizing these items and features in-game! That said, it's worth noting again that we are committed to focusing on core gameplay features at this time; these bonus features and items will be included later in the Early Access period and after the game officially launches in free-to-play. Of course, when we have more news about each item or game feature's development, we'll be sure to celebrate with you!

Start the challenge by wishlisting here, and by following our social channels below. We can't wait to see you in the Valley on September 6th!
