Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Lion King update arrives next week

Gameloft has announced when the next major Disney Dreamlight Valley update will be released.

Update 4, the final name of which has yet to be revealed, will launch on April 5, the publisher has confirmed.

Although Gameloft hasn’t yet provided the complete list of what will be included in Update 4, it already showed footage from it back in February during a Nintendo Direct.

It showed the player running through a Lion King realm, as well as Simba and Nala arriving in the Valley.

It’s therefore known that the update will unlock a new sixth realm based on the The Lion King, to join the already existing Moana, Wall-E, Frozen, Ratatouille and Toy Story ones.

The addition of Simba and Nala will also bring the total number of characters to 25, though it’s not yet known if there will be more new characters as well as them.

Gameloft has also previously confirmed that the new Star Path being released to coincide with the update will have a Disney Parks theme.

Star Paths are the game’s equivalent of Seasons, with each new Star Path giving the player tasks to perform to unlock various outfits, furniture, motifs and animal friends based on each theme.
