Be prepared! Gameloft has released the “Scar’s Kingdom” update for the Early Access version of Disney Dreamlight Valley today. This new feature adds the new “Sunlit Plateau” biome, where you will face the infamous villain Scar from Disney’s The Lion King.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available now in paid Early Access for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC and Mac via Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, and Mac App Store, as well as via Xbox Game Pass. A full free-to-play launch is due out in 2023.
Here is all you need to know about the “Scar’s Kingdom” update (thanks, Gematsu!)
Make sure your Avatar’s dressed for the heat—in this content update, you’ll be headed to the sun-drenched savannahs of the Sunlit Plateau biome, where you’ll encounter the most recognizable villain from Disney’s The Lion King—Scar.
In “Scar’s Kingdom,” the iconic savannah of the Sunlit Plateau is in peril! Once the key to keeping the Plateau vibrant and green, the Pillar of Nurturing has dried up and is blocked by mysterious and dark magic. To bring the Plateau back to life, you’ll team up with Scar—the would-be usurper of the Pride Lands who was trapped while The Forgetting ravaged Dreamlight Valley. You may also want to equip your Royal Pickaxe, as you’ll be headed to a new area deep within the Plateau’s mines to restore the Pillar of Nurturing and find the source of the problem, all while dealing with Scar’s less-than-honest motivations.
Introducing the Villain Star Path
In addition to Scar’s Kingdom content, you will find a new Star Path awaiting you on the Events page—this time, with a nefarious flair! You will need to tap into your dark side and befriend the villains living in the Valley, or perhaps just skulk around alongside them. As you complete event duties, you’ll be rewarded with tokens that you can spend on exclusive items inspired by Halloween and Disney villains. Sometimes, it’s good to be wrong.
Seasonal Content
With Halloween on the horizon, you will find new items in the Scrooge Shop and new craft-able items at your workbench. We also have a few tricks and treats planned—stay tuned for more news soon!
Community Driven Changes
With all the new story, seasonal, and Star Path content that has been included in Update 1, we wanted to take a moment to recognize some of the changes that we’ve made to the game based on community feedback. Listening to the feedback of our passionate community in the Early Access period is incredibly important to our team and the game's future. We’re so thankful for everyone who’s taken the time to share their thoughts with us, be it their experiences or feature suggestions! Here are just a few of the changes and additions that you can expect in Update 1:
We’ve changed how lightning appears in-game due to an accessibility concern for many players.
We hope that everyone can now enjoy the in-game storms! Plants watered by rain showers will remain watered afterward—so now even your plants will enjoy the rain much more now.
Get ready to twin with Ariel and match your hair to even more outfits! We’ve added more hair color options for you to play around with.
We know how much love you have for your animal companions, so we’ve added a way for you to interact with them! Go give your pets some well-deserved attention for following you around while you plant 99 Okra.
Donald Duck has finally found his land legs. You’ll find he’s less clumsy and less likely to trip and throw a tantrum.
Remember the Avatar Designer Tool? You shared with us that you loved the photo mode—so we’ve added many of the same features to Disney Dreamlight Valley! We can’t wait to see all your new pics!
Bug Issues and Resolutions
Finally, yet importantly, we are releasing many fixes for top issues that were reported by the Disney Dreamlight Valley community. We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who reported their issues and for their patience while we worked to resolve them.
