Mysteries of Skull Rock

The main storyline of Disney Dreamlight Valley left players with a huge mystery… what – or, who – resides within Skull Rock on Dazzle Beach?

The story continues and the mystery is resolved in our next free update, Mysteries of Skull Rock, on June 18th, 2025! Before you can discover what’s within the iconic rock formation, however, you’ve got to figure out how to get inside. Luckily, a familiar and forgotten friend can lend a hand.

This update brings new gameplay with The Forgotten – integrating them more formally as a Villager with their own friendship quests, rewards, and the ability to give them a different name.

Rekindling your friendship with your purple pal will lay the foundation for discovering the resident of Skull Rock who is none other than Peter Pan!

Bringing his love for fun and flying from Disney’s Peter Pan, he arrives with his own friendship rewards and quests. You can even expect to join his new crew of Lost Boys in the Valley! You’ll just have to convince him that you’re not a pirate… or worse, a boring adult.

Adventures in Neverland Star Path

Are you after seafaring fashions and magical mermaid cosmetics? The latest Star Path brings all of these – and more! – when you collect its bounty of rewards.

Animal Companion Upgrades

The Forgotten isn’t the only one getting a friendship upgrade in the Mysteries of Skull Rock update...

We’re introducing friendship levels for your Companions – including their own rewards! Hang out with your favorite Companions to level them up as you would with Villagers – and give names to those without predetermined ones.

A new Companion arrives with a Premium Shop bundle bringing Max from Disney’s The Little Mermaid to your Valley! Arriving with themed furniture, he’ll also have the ability to dig up nearby holes when equipped.

The Unwritten Realms

While June is packed with plenty of content to explore, owners of Disney Dreamlight Valley: The Storybook Vale expansion pass can look forward to its finale – The Unwritten Realms – arriving on July 9th, 2025.

The story continues with big surprises – and new Villagers! After progressing through daring and dazzling tales – no spoilers here! – you’ll be able to befriend both Maleficent and Aurora from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty.

In addition to the story content, you can also expect new puzzles to reorder with the Lorekeeper, and even more Snippets to swing your Royal Net at!

2025 Roadmap

Of course, the magic doesn’t stop there.

Later this summer, you’ll be able to get in touch with some friendly emotions. In the fall, return to a beloved Realm to solve a magical mystery with an enchanting new duo – while collecting thrilling seasonal Star Path rewards.

More content arrives towards the end of the year as well – bringing another Villager who we think will be a dream come true for many.

Even more content awaits!

Outside of Villagers, Star Paths, and other rewards – Josh shared a sneak peek at what features we’ve got planned for 2025.

Look forward to the introduction of a new feature designed to make it easier for players to connect and share resources with one another, empowering multiplayer play.

And one last thing – highly requested by our Community, Cross-Save for PlayStation users arrives alongside the Mysteries of Skull Rock update on June 18th, 2025!

We can’t wait for you to explore everything arriving in the Valley this year, starting with the free Mysteries of Skull Rock update on June 18th, and the finale of the Disney Dreamlight Valley: The Storybook Valley expansion pass, The Unwritten Realms, on July 9th

Stay tuned for even more surprises and reveals in our Showcase later this year!

 

See you in the Valley, and the Vale!
