Forgotten Lands Update

The mysterious location of the Forgotten Lands has gained some traction since the release of Disney Dreamlight Valley, considering its non-interactive items scattered throughout the area. You’ll find many green-lit flames around this destination that seemingly can’t be put out, despite having a water can. On top of that, players have wondered about the strange pumpkin house within the lands, which shows no signs of life inside.

Luckily, these lingering questions may be answered in Update 5, as Gameloft suggests players to decorate the Forgotten Lands in a recent Twitter post. You can also consider images from the roadmap that depict the pumpkin house in this location, hinting at its long-awaited gameplay in the summertime.

Continuation of the Main Storyline

Although the Pride of the Valley update touched up on a few plotlines in the DDV saga, it didn’t necessarily add anything new to the main narrative. Past missions heavily focused on the magical lore, especially with the big reveal of the Dreamlight Valley’s ruler, yet it hasn’t expanded much since then.

On the other hand, the following update will expand the main campaign based on an announcement from Disney Dreamlight Valley’s official Twitter. According to the post, the Remembering will be the “biggest story update yet,” which will uncover the secrets of the realm. Will we finally learn the truth about the darkness that surrounds the Valley? Only time will tell if Update 5 will shed light on the arcane lore.

More Characters

It may come as no surprise that more characters will be added in the following update due to the new arrivals from previous launches. So, now that the key art for the Remembering update has been revealed, we do know that Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother will be arriving in Update 5. Many have also speculated that Wreck-It-Ralph’s Vanellope von Schweetz is expected to launch as well, considering that Gameloft has done yet another play on words about an upcoming princess that will “race” her way into the Valley.

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s IMDb page has also been updated with new characters, like Beauty and the Beast’s Belle and WALL-E’s EVA. Of course, Belle has already been introduced in the launch trailer and key visuals but has not officially appeared in the game.

Umbrellas Galore

Gameloft has recently announced a new umbrella feature for Update 5, allowing you to stay dry during Dreamlight Valley’s gloomy period. Players can expect various designs for this latest tool, with the possibility of adding their own customization based on clothing design gameplay.

Many fans in the comments were happy to hear this news and have voiced suggestions for the update. In particular, some have proposed to include iconic umbrellas from the franchise, while others desire a weather forecast system to warn players about future rainy conditions.

Mannequin Customization

If you’ve been to Scrooge McDuck’s shop, you’ll know all about the outfit displays that allow you to purchase clothing with Star Coins. And now, players can obtain a display of their own with Update 5’s mannequin customization, where they can showcase their stylish costumes. You’ll have an easier time putting on these outfits, as you can instantly place them onto your character by pressing the ‘Interact’ button.

There’s no limit to how many mannequins you can display in your home, so you can design your attire to your heart’s content. Alternatively, players can edit these items at any time whenever they want to change up their style.

Multiple Player Houses

If you previously had difficulty choosing one house skin, you won’t have to worry with Update 5, as it introduces an option to construct several player homes. It isn’t entirely clear what you can do inside these structures, but at least you can look forward to a more personalized building experience. That way, players can place multiple locations, such as the majestic palace, Mike and Sulley’s Apartment, and Prince Eric’s Ship.

That covers everything we know about Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Update 5. For more content, be sure to explore the relevant links below, including the game’s newest traveling feature.
