What’s the current Disney Dreamlight Valley update?

The current Disney Dreamlight Valley update is Tales of Agrabah, which released on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.

This fresh, Aladdin-themed update invites both Aladdin and Princess Jasmine to the Valley, along with a whole new realm, and a bunch of other cool stuff. You can check out the developer update above to find out more.

The new update also introduces a bunch of quality of life improvements as seen in this post, including optimizations to the cooking system, a brand new slow cooker that allows you to queue up meals, and more. A second post also showcases additional improvements, including the ability to pin shop bundles, customize the size of your rooms, and other funky features.

What’s the current Disney Dreamlight Valley Star Path?

The next Disney Dreamlight Valley Star Path is called The Oasis Retreat and started on Wednesday, February 26, 2025. Fitting with the new update, The Oasis Retreat features a variety of Agrabah-themed items, including beautiful wicker furniture, lush foliage, and an adorable capybara companion wearing a little robe and a pineapple on its head. It’s beyond cute!

You can take a peek at the items available in this star path in this post.

What’s the next Disney Dreamlight Valley update?

Gameloft is yet to announce the next DDV update. However, in a 2025 content roadmap seen in this X post, Gameloft has given us a glimpse of what’s to come following the Aladdin-themed update.

Spring 2025 sees an update that invites us to “step into a land of wonder and meet new friends along the way” with an image of the iconic Cheshire Cat’s grin from Alice in Wonderland. Naturally, we think this means that an Alice in Wonderland realm is on the way, and that the Cheshire Cat may be joining the Valley.

The final free update on the roadmap is for summer 2025, stating that we’ll finally have the opportunity to “solve an ancient mystery and discover who is waiting inside Skull Rock”. Skull Rock has been in our Valley for a while, and many players have speculated that it must be related to Peter Pan, so we’re excited to see if we get any new arrivals from Neverland.

As for paid expansions, it looks like the third DLC following A Rift in Time and Storybook Vale will arrive in summer 2025, too. The description reads “with the help of Maleficent, venture into a strange world beneath the Storybook Vale and solve the mystery of the missing Princess.” Of course, we don’t know anything else just yet, but it looks like 2025 is shaping up to be a great year for fans of the game.

What’s the next Disney Dreamlight Valley Star Path?

Gameloft hasn’t announced the next DDV Star Path. However, the roadmap mentioned above suggests that it’ll arrive in spring 2025, and, with the next update seemingly based on Alice in Wonderland, we think it’s likely that we’ll get some lovely tea party or Wonderland-themed furniture and clothing.

Disney Dreamlight Valley: The Storybook Vale release date

Disney Dreamlight Valley: The Storybook Vale released on November 20, 2024. It’s the game’s second expansion following A Rift in Time, and introduces a brand new area called – you guessed it – Storybook Vale.

This stunning island was once a place made up of legendary stories, where myths and fairytales sprang life. However, it has since fallen into the clutches of some powerful villains – so it’s up to you to restore it to its former glory.

Of course, this new expansion also introduces a new enchanted artifact, cute critters, mythic riddles for you to unravel, and more. It also invites a bunch of fresh faces to the valley, including Merida from Brave and Eugine (otherwise known as the legendary Flynn Rider) from Tangled.

Like the previous expansion, The Storybook Vale requires a separate purchase on most platforms, though you can still explore the Apple Arcade version of the game, complete with expansions, at no additional cost.

Are the Disney Dreamlight Valley updates free?

As you may have heard, Disney Dreamlight Valley’s free to play plans are no longer on the cards, but Gameloft has confirmed that the base game will continue to get free updates including new characters, realms, and more.

However, you do have to pay for the Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time expansion. The expansion takes you to a whole new world about the same size as the original valley, and unlocks a bunch of new characters including EVE, Rapunzel, and Gaston. New tools and mechanics are also locked behind this expansion, including a bunch of handy machines that can automate systems such as sprinklers to water your crops and a tool that allows you to cook multiple meals at once.

Luckily, if you want to try out a Rift in Time for yourself but don’t want to splash that cash, you can play the Disney Dreamlight Valley: Arcade Edition for free if you have an Apple Arcade subscription. The Arcade Edition comes complete with the new expansion, as well as all past and future content updates – the only things you miss out on are the Star Paths and the premium shop.
