Disney Dreamlight Valley‘s next major update will be released on June 18th, and developer Gameloft has now pulled back the curtain on everything players can expect to see when Mysteries of Skull Rock goes live. Most notably, players will be able to welcome two new Villagers to the Valley: Peter Pan and the Forgotten. Since the game’s early access debut in 2022, players have been uncovering new details about the Forgotten’s storyline, but now they’ll be able to have them officially join the Valley, and players will even be able to assign them a name.
The Disney Dreamlight Valley arrival of Peter Pan has been a poorly kept secret for months now, as Gameloft has long been teasing the importance of Skull Rock to this summer update. Content based on the classic animated film will also be added to the game via a new Star Path theme, which is appropriately titled “Adventures in Never Land.” Not everything is directly inspired by Peter Pan, however. The developers are also using this opportunity to add new items that fit general pirate and mermaid themes. Throughout the coming weeks, players can expect some new and returning events in the game, such as Troves of Treasure, and Summer Sizzle. The latter will feature new rewards that set it apart from last year’s event.
The last big change players should expect to see is the implementation of cross-saves on PlayStation platforms. Fans have been begging to see this for years now, but PlayStation prevented it from happening, though the exact reason why has not been revealed. We do know that other developers have run into the same problem over the last few years, but it seems Gameloft was able to finally make it happen. Full patch notes from the game’s official website can be found below:
