Gameloft has confirmed a release date for Disney Dreamlight Valley Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, news that was shared in this week’s Nintendo Direct presentation.
This will deliver “improved performance, enhanced graphics, increased object limit, and more” when compared with the game on the original Nintendo Switch.
“The Nintendo Switch 2 version will make your Valley feel even more magical. Whether you’re decorating, going on quests, or just spending time with your favourite Disney and Pixar friends, everything should feel smoother and easier to enjoy,” the developer explained in an update.
“You’ll benefit from improved frame rate, increased resolution, faster loading times, and a higher item limit of 6,000, giving you more freedom to decorate and explore.”
Pitched as “a hybrid between a life-sim and an adventure game rich with quests, exploration, and engaging activities featuring Disney and Pixar friends,” Dreamlight Valley was once a place where such characters lived in harmony.
After the Forgetting, Night Thorns grew across the land, severing the memories tied to such a magical place. Retreating behind locked doors in the Dream Castle for their own safety, it is up to you to bring peace back to Dreamlight Valley.
The developer has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Discover the Secrets of Dreamlight Valley: Free the Dream Castle from the insidious grip of the Forgetting, and unlock the unique Realms of well-loved Disney and Pixar characters, including great queens and kings such as Anna and Simba. Each Realm contains unique challenges with puzzles to solve in the quest to bring friendship back to the Valley. You’ll start your adventure in the Valley, but your journey will take you to infinity… and beyond! Explore what lurks in the Forest of Valor and brave the deepest caverns as you take on challenges from iconic Disney and Pixar heroes and villains. Who knows who – or what – you might discover.
- Forge friendships with Disney & Pixar characters: Garden with WALL•E, cook with Remy or kick back and fish with Goofy. What better way to collect, craft, and rebuild the Valley than with a friend! From beautiful princesses to nefarious villains, every Dreamlight Valley resident brings their own story arc, quests, and rewards. Meet up in daily hangouts and make friends with some of your favorite Disney and Pixar characters..
- Restore the Valley to its former glory: Return Dreamlight Valley to its former greatness by making it your own. In Dreamlight Valley, you can build the perfect neighborhood that is just for you with a fully customizable layout, creative landscaping, and thousands of decorative items. Will you settle on the Beach next to Moana, or call Buzz Lightyear your next-door neighbor in the Plaza?
- Express Your Disney Style: Bring out your inner princess, villain, or Disney bounder! Assemble unique outfits and decorate your home with thousands of fantastic items. Using the Touch of Magic tool, you can even create your own designs with Disney- and Pixar-inspired decals! With the in-game Camera, get ready to snap a sunset selfie with Mirabel, capture a culinary creation with Remy, or simply cherish a moment.
- A Game In Constant Evolution: New content means that there’s always something fresh to explore. Meet new characters in the Valley, check out the latest clothing and furniture collections in Scrooge’s Store, and complete challenging in-game events! Be sure to dream your way back to Dreamlight Valley regularly to discover new adventures!
