Disney Dreamlight Valley: From Free-to-Play to Paid Game
Hey there, fellow gamers! We’ve got some exciting news from the world of Disney Dreamlight Valley. Remember when we thought it was going to be a free-to-play game? Well, hold onto your controllers because things have changed!
Early Access and Founder’s Packs
For those of you who have been eagerly waiting to explore the magical world of Disney Dreamlight Valley, you may have already dived into the early access version of the game. It has been available for about a year now, but only to those who purchased the Founder’s Packs or had access through Xbox Game Pass.
However, in a recent blog post on the game’s official website[source], developer Gameloft dropped a bombshell. Disney Dreamlight Valley will no longer be transitioning to a free-to-play game as originally planned. Instead, it will remain a paid game for the foreseeable future. The full release is set for December 5, so mark your calendars!
Now, you might be wondering why they made this decision. According to the blog post, Gameloft wants to deliver a premium game experience to all players. They’ve learned a lot from the early access phase, and they believe that sticking to a paid model will enable them to fulfill their promise of continuous free content updates. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love free updates that bring new characters, realms, clothing, furniture, and other surprises to explore?
Optional In-Game Currency
Don’t worry, my fellow gamers, the game isn’t completely abandoning the live service elements that were already in place. You’ll still have the option to use moonstones, an in-game currency, which can be earned for free or purchased with real money. So, if you’re all about that bling, you can still get your hands on those moonstones to enhance your Dreamlight Valley experience.
A Rift in Time: The First Paid Expansion
Get ready for some epic new content, gamers! Gameloft will be showcasing its first paid expansion pass called “A Rift in Time” during an upcoming livestream. Set your alarms for 8pm GMT on November 1, so you don’t miss out on the exciting sneak peek. And that’s not all! The livestream will also give us a glimpse of the highly anticipated multiplayer features and other upcoming updates. It’s going to be an event you won’t want to miss!
Multiple Editions and Limited Founder’s Packs
As we approach the full release of Disney Dreamlight Valley on December 5, Gameloft has outlined the different editions that will be available. So, get ready to choose the one that suits your gaming style and preferences. But here’s a heads up: the Founder’s Packs that are currently available will no longer be up for grabs after the official launch. So, if you want to get your hands on exclusive goodies, make sure to grab them before they’re gone!
Conclusion: Keep Dreaming and Gaming
Well, my fellow gamers, it looks like Disney Dreamlight Valley is taking a different path than we initially expected. But hey, change can be a good thing, right? By remaining a paid game, Gameloft aims to deliver a premium experience and continue providing free content updates that will keep us hooked and entertained for hours on end.
So, get ready to embark on a magical journey through Dreamlight Valley, filled with enchanting characters, breathtaking realms, and countless surprises. And don’t forget to stock up on those moonstones to unlock even more adventures along the way!
