Disney Dreamlight Valley is set to get its latest major content update on 7 June 2023 at 9:00 am ET, with this fifth chapter titled ‘The Remembering’. As well as introducing the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella and solving the mystery of the game’s dormant Pumpkin House, this update will also pull together the game’s major story threads, and give an answer to why the denizens of Dreamlight Valley lost their memories.

Gameloft has described Update 5 as the ‘biggest story update yet’ – so players should expect plenty of new quests, dialogue, and mysteries within the game. There will also be a new explorable realm in this pack, new cosmetic upgrade options – like flaming hats, gothic tool upgrades, a Baymax gamer chair, and plenty of other accessories.
