Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Disney Dreamlight Valley In Development

Oh man, so Gameloft is cooking up something new. Disney Dreamlight Valley, on the Nintendo Switch 2! Sounds like magic, right? They just kinda casually dropped that info, like, “Yeah, it’s happening.” Can’t help but wonder if they meant to cause such a stir or if it just slipped out. Anyway — wait, no — where was I? Oh yes, they’ve been shouting about this on X (which, by the way, is still weird for me to call it that).

So, about this Dreamlight Valley place… imagine a mix of life-sim and adventure games. Like, if Animal Crossing wandered into a Disney movie or something. There’s a backstory too — something about “The Forgetting” and these creepy Night Thorns. Gave me chills just reading about it. Characters holed up in a Dream Castle? It’s up to you—and me, I guess—to fix everything.

Now, the developer was pretty chatty about what you’ll actually do in this game. They threw out a bunch of bullet points, but honestly, I can never remember those. The gist is, you explore and solve puzzles in places tied to Disney and Pixar favorites. Sound fun? Maybe, maybe not. But hey, you might bump into Simba or Anna, and who wouldn’t want a chat with them?

And the friendship stuff? Seems like you get to hang out with famous Disney faces. Picture this: you’re in a garden with WALL•E or cooking up something wild with Remy. Catching dinner with Goofy is a mental image I didn’t know I needed. Seriously, though, who wouldn’t want to build a Disney-themed town with pals?

Then there’s this bit about decking out Dreamlight Valley like it’s an episode of one of those home makeover shows. Customize everything! Want to live next to Moana? Sure, why not. Prefer Buzz Lightyear as a neighbor? Go for it! Think of your weirdest dream neighborhood and just make it happen.

And if you’re feeling snazzy, there’s even a chance to craft outfits. Yup, channel your inner Elsa or maybe embrace that villainous side as Maleficent. Oh, and take selfies! Because let’s be honest, it’s not an adventure without pictures.

They say the game’s always evolving. Meaning, there’s always a reason to revisit. New stuff popping up all the time in Scrooge’s Store, new folks to meet – the works. Like life, it’s never the same day twice.

Anyway, Disney Dreamlight Valley is already cruising on the Nintendo eShop for Switch. No word yet on the new edition’s exact launch though. Guess we play the waiting game.

Right, hope you caught all that because it’s quite the whirlwind. Kinda excited for what’s to come, and possibly intrigued by the craziness packed into this magical world.
