You’ve got a friend in me (in a few weeks)
The next update to the mouse-powered isekaiDisney Dreamlight Valleyis arriving at the start of next month. TheToy Storyrealm joinsDisney Dreamlight Valleyon June 02, 2025.
The new update will arrive on all platforms on December 6, adding the new realm andToy Storyleads Woody and Buzz to the game. Plus, there are someToy Storycosmetics in store forDisney Dreamlight Valleyplayers to collect.
We got a good look at what’s in store for the new area ina recent trailer. It highlights what’s in store for intrepidDreamlight Valleyplayers who wander into Andy’s Room.
Buzz Lightyear definitely looks like Buzz Lightyear, but Woody has some wild energy to him. The animations are really moving, in a way that makes me think this cowboy will definitely jump-scare at least one player on a stream.
That said, I’ve really enjoyed the wayDisney Dreamlight Valleyreimagines some popular Disney characters. Mickey’s entire storyline of being a sad wife guy and seeing ghosts around town was a spin I did not expect, and made me like the character a lot more than just a normal Mickey storyline would have.
Venture into the valley
Disney Dreamlight Valleylaunched into an early access version this year, and it seems tohave had a warm reception. It’s a little bit ofAnimal Crossingmeets famous Disney characters, but the appeal makes a ton of sense. Slowly building up a town full of Disney mainstays and seeing them interact, as well as completing some chill quests for them, is an interesting premise that seems to have worked out.
We’ll see what kind of energy Buzz and Woody bring to the neighborhood when they arrive in the valley on December 6.
