Disney Dreamlight Valley Update 5: New content, characters, features, more

Since its release in September 2022, Disney Dreamlight Valley has constantly received updates loaded with new content such as quests, characters, locations, items, and more. The next big early summer update for the game will arrive soon, and here’s everything you need to know about it.
Disney Dreamlight Valley brought plenty of new content for fans to dive into with the Pride of the Valley update and right after that, we had the Eggstravaganza event. That’s not all, players can now get exclusive RGB-inspired items in-game via Twitch Drops. This update introduced a new Lion King realm, Simba and Nala.
Players also got new recipes, quests, and much more to dig their claws into. Even with so much going on, players have not missed the subtle hints that the devs have been dropping now and then. The next major content update is on its way but before that, the devs make sure that fans get glimpses of what’s coming.
Although the developers are yet to reveal all upcoming content, here’s everything you need to know about what might be happening in the next Disney Dreamlight Valley update.

After the Pride of the Valley update, we can expect the next major Update 5 for Disney Dreamlight Valley to drop sometime in June 2023. Although the developers have not hinted at any specific dates yet, we know there will be potentially new characters, a new Star Path, new quests, recipes, and much more.
A new teapot based on the Mad Tea Party will be added in-game in June. Fans will recall the Mad Tea Party is from the iconic Alice in Wonderland franchise and this might pave the way for other characters like Alice, or the Mad Hatter to show up sometime in the future.
What to expect from Disney Dreamlight Valley update 5

In Disney Dreamlight Valley, we do not have a scheduled date for the next upcoming Update 5 but by the looks of the early access roadmap, we have a few things in mind.
The Forgetting, mystery house & new character
According to the roadmap, the early summer update will finally unveil the mystery behind The Forgetting, and it’s been teased as “a princess races to the Valley.”
There is a pumpkin house in the Forgotten Lands and it is impossible to access it. Currently, the devs have narrowed down the update time to June 2023. Therefore, it’s safe to say that whoever lives in the house is sure to come out with Update 5 in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Currently, players cannot get in the pumpkin house and the owner hasn’t been spotted yet. However, it is perfectly lit and surrounded by green flames.

The mystery house has already got fans excited and curious. We know that Cinderella’s fairy godmother turned the simple pumpkin into a beautiful carriage. Cinderella might be trapped in her realm because of The Forgetting and she might be the one that’s coming in with the next major content update in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

New items coming to Disney Dreamlight Valley
Apart from the subtle hints at new characters, Gameloft has also teased us with new Disney Dreamlight Valley items. With Update 5, players will be able to access umbrellas to dodge the rain in-game.

That’s not all, with Update 5, we will also be getting a new Mannequin item in-game and this will allow you to change into your favorite outfits after interacting with them. All you need to do is click on the interact option and you will find two more options: Wear and Edit. If you click on the first one, you will be able to change into the outfit.

What if we told you Update 5 will give you a brand new way to flex your design chops and add your own personal Touch to the Valley?
It's almost like Magic ✨ pic.twitter.com/jE4H1P6dCs
In another tweet, the devs revealed an artisanal bench which compelled players to ask for an increase in the item limit. As it turns out, the idea is under consideration, and we might see it arriving in the early summer update.

Disney Dreamlight Valley Update 5 theme teased
Disney Dreamlight Valley has posted a series of tweets teasing the upcoming content in Update 5:
Have you got a house skin burning a hole in your Inventory?
— Disney Dreamlight Valley (@DisneyDLV) May 29, 2023
With Update 5, you'll be able to place multiple player houses throughout the Valley to really liven things up!
Keep an eye out this week, we have a lot more to share about Update 5 👀 pic.twitter.com/Yy5hIBRsQ3
According to the tweet above, DDV players will be able to “place multiple player houses” in the valley following the release of Update 5. However, we still don’t know if the interiors of these houses will be identical or unique.
However, the most talked about teaser is the tweet talking about “familiar, but Forgotten places.” This means that Update 5 is either about the Forgotten Lands or we’ll get a quest that revolves around Forgetting. Considering how extensive Disney Dreamlight Valley updates have been in the past, it won’t be a surprise if we get both of these things in the upcoming patch.

Thanks to the tweets mentioned above, players are excited for Update 5 which will allow them to express their creativity by customizing pieces of furniture around the valley. Although we are yet to see if the same tool will allow them to customize it, fans are hopeful for the upcoming update.
