Developer Gameloft has announced the full release date for Disney Dreamlight Valley.

The full release of the game is now set to launch on December 5th 2023, a little over a year after its paid early access release. More critically, Gameloft has confirmed that the game will remain a paid experience, and will no longer transition to being free-to-play as originally planned. Gameloft provided a brief explanation for this decision as follows:

“As we look ahead to the official launch, with the learnings we’ve gained from Early Access, we’ve made the decision to remain a paid game for the foreseeable future. This means we will not make the transition to be a free-to-play game when we leave Early Access on December 5. This choice ensures that Disney Dreamlight Valley will be able to continue delivering on a premium game experience for all players.”

After December 5th, the game will be available in three different editions, each with a varying amount of premium currency and special bonuses.

Finally, Gameloft confirmed that the game will be receiving an expansion pass titled “A Rift In Time”, which will add new characters, areas, and more. Further details about the expansion will be shared during a livestream on November 1st 2023.
