What is the next Dreamlight Valley update? Each new Dreamlight Valley update adds new characters, features, and quests to the life sim, and the roster of Dreamlight Valley residents has expanded so much already – and shows no signs of slowing down. Fans on social media have previously requested the likes of Cinderella, Belle, and Stitch, and with Cinders the only one missing now, we know Gameloft is listening.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is now officially out of early access, and the first part of the Dreamlight Valley Rift in Time DLC has been released too. As such, Dreamlight Valley has never been better, and its vibrant community, speedy bug fixes, and regular content updates have already cemented Dreamlight Valley as one of the best life games around. Even if you don’t want to splash out on paid content, there are still plenty of new Dreamlight Valley recipes, characters, ingredients, realms, and more added to the free base game in regular updates, so here’s everything we know about the next free Dreamlight Valley update.
Next Dreamlight Valley update
Two content updates are due this spring, so the next Dreamlight Valley update could arrive any day now. The official Dreamlight Valley Twitter/X account teased a new update “on the horizon.” We expect that the update will drop in either late April or early May 2024.
In addition to the tease via the Dreamlight Valley Twitter/X post in April, the content roadmap below shows that the next update arrives in “early spring” and that there are three updates between now and Summer 2024. This seems to buck the three-monthly update trend and make them more regular, so we could see the next valley resident arrive as early as April.
As for what we will see, this update could see Daisy’s arrival into the Valley, as the teaser image shows Donald Duck’s home and hints at the arrival of a “vibrant” new villager. Since Mickey has been reunited with Minnie, it seems only fair to bring Daisy back to her Donald.
From there, we could get a Mulan realm in “Late Spring 2024”, before Tiana – and maybe even her frog prince – join in the Summer.
Dreamlight Valley update schedule
Update 7 pretty much reverted to the standard two-monthly schedule that Gameloft has stuck to so far, following the DreamSnaps outlier. The December update kept this trend going, and with the Laugh Floor arriving in February, we’re firmly back on track. However, it looks like we could be on track for even more regular updates this year.
All previous Dreamlight Valley updates:
- February 28, 2024: The Laugh Floor brings Mike and Sulley through the door and into the human realm.
- December 5, 2023: The Pumpkin King Returns sees Jack Skellington find his way back to the valley.

- April 5, 2023: Update 4, Pride of the Valley, adds a The Lion King realm, in which a story unravels starring Simba and Nala – and a lot of Hyenas. There’s also a new surprise when you increase your friendship with Buzz.
- February 16, 2023: A Festival of Friendship reunites Olaf with Elsa, and introduces us to Mirabel Madrigal and the Mini-Casita.

That’s everything we know about what might be coming in the next Dreamlight Valley update and its release date, but that doesn’t mean there’s not plenty to keep you busy right now. Ensure you’re not missing out on the latest Dreamlight Valley codes, and level up all the Dreamlight Valley characters already in the life game by giving them their favorite gifts, including some Dreamlight Valley recipes, and make sure you’re ready to go when the new arrivals get here.
