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 has never been better thanks to the colorful life game‘s new characters and mechanics. Its vibrant community makes it even better, especially with more multiplayer functions being added, and a paid DLC brings even more biomes and residents to your valley if you want them. Even if you don’t want to splash out on paid content, there are still plenty of new Dreamlight Valley recipes, characters, realms, and more added to the base game regularly, so here’s everything we know about the next free Dreamlight Valley update.
Next Dreamlight Valley update
The next Dreamlight Valley update release date is set for “late Spring 2024”, following the Thrills and Frills update on May 1, 2024. It’s too soon to expect any news yet, but we think Mulan will arrive with the next content update.
Thrills and Frills was not only a massive free content update on its own, but it also coincided with the release of the next Rift in Time DLC act, The Spark of Imagination. Even without the paid content, though, you can welcome a new character to your valley, embark on some joyful new friendship quests, and test out your fashion sense in the new village Boutique.
Following Thrills and Frills, we know the next free content arrives before the end of the Spring thanks to the 2024 roadmap below. We think we could be getting 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.
- September 13, 2023: Enchanted Adventure update opens the Beauty and the Beast realm.
- July 19, 2023: In the DreamSnaps update, take your best trackside photos as Vanellope Von Schweetz races into the valley, and a new photo contest is released.
- June 6, 2023: Update 5, The Remembering, reveals the Fairy Godmother as the resident of the pumpkin house, and adds a massive new storyline in which you come face to face with The Forgetting themselves.
- 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.

- October 19, 2023: Scar’s Kingdom adds Dreamlight Valley Scar quests to the Disney game, revealing the new Mines, and new resources.
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.
