Disney Dreamlight Valley remaining a paid experience as it leaves Early Access, paid expansion and showcase announced

In today’s dev blog post, Gameloft has revealed a deep look at their extensive future plans for Disney Dreamlight Valley.

First up is the reveal of Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time, a paid Expansion Pass coming to Disney Dreamlight Valley this December 5th. To learn more, Gameloft invites you to join them for their first-ever showcase this November 1st at 1:00 PM ET (6:00 PM CET), streamed on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook Live.

During the stream, Gameloft will dive into the Expansion Pass, showing off this all-new adventure across Eternity Isle where you’ll meet new friends, discover new biomes, and immerse yourself in new gameplay features. In addition, key members of the Disney Dreamlight Valley team will reminisce over their favorite moments from the past year, give you a glimpse at upcoming updates, and unveil much-anticipated multiplayer features.

Gameloft is also excited to share that on December 5th, Disney Dreamlight Valley will be leaving Early Access. As they transition to launch, existing players will keep their access to the game, their Moonstones, and their save game.

As they looked ahead to the official launch, Gameloft has made the decision to remain a paid game for the foreseeable future. This means they will not make the transition to be a free-to-play game when Disney Dreamlight Valley leaves Early Access on December 5th. This choice ensures that Disney Dreamlight Valley will be able to continue delivering on a premium game experience for all players.

Gameloft says it’s important to them that they maintain their promise to keep delivering free content updates that add new characters, realms, clothing, furniture, and more surprises to your Valley. Purchases requiring moonstones will remain optional, fair, and match the level of quality players have come to expect. Players will still be able to collect free Moonstones via Dream Snaps and Chests, or optionally choose to purchase them.

Moving forward, Founder’s Packs will continue to be available through December 4th. When the game transitions out of Early Access on December 5th, they’ll be unveiling all-new editions. New players can choose to purchase the core game (with bonus Moonstones) on its own, or opt for the Gold Edition, which includes exclusive cosmetic items, access to the A Rift In Time expansion, and even more bonus Moonstones.

As a thank you to Early Access players, all unique cosmetic items included in the upcoming Gold Edition will be given free of charge to any player who purchases and claims a Founder’s Pack in-game on or before December 4th, no matter the tier. Not only that, but all Founders will also receive 2,500 Moonstones to celebrate this exciting moment.
