Cozy games fans will be happy to know that Disney Dreamlight Valley continues to truck along following its release last year. While the colorful life sim certainly gives players a lot to do — especially with its recent patches — the promise of multiplayer continues to elude the scene. Hopefully this will change in a few months, as the game’s May roadmap put multiplayer functionality for the later part of 2023.
In fact, the recent July 19th Dreamsnaps update added the titular photo challenge, a feature that flirts with multiplayer by presenting a community-wide activity. “Lastly, it wouldn’t be a competition without prizes! Every participant in a DreamSnaps challenge will earn a minimum of 300 Moonstones and a randomized selection of furniture or clothing items – depending on the week’s challenge type – from Scrooge’s Store,” developer Gameloft said.
Another big question mark is when Dreamlight Valley will officially launch as a free-to-play — rather than a $30 buy-to-play — product. Last year, Gameloft said that the life sim would be going F2P sometime in 2023, although this hasn’t been re-confirmed lately.
