New Character: Tiana

Tiana from The Princess and the Frog will be added to the game in the August update. All players will be able to unlock her realm and befriend her, completing some new quests with other familiar faces along the way.

New Restaurant & Food Stalls

Tiana is also bringing some new cooking features to the game, including her restaurant Tiana’s Palace. This adds more variety to the culinary options in Disney Dreamlight Valley, with a little friendly competition for Chez Remy.

Friendship with Tiana will also unlock a new stall with plenty of tasty treats on the go around the Valley in case you wind up hungry and empty-handed.

Roaring ’20s Inspired Clothes through New Star Path

The update also brings a new Star Path, with plenty of Roaring ’20s-inspired clothing items to unlock ā€” perfect for dining in style at Tiana’s Palace! There will also be a new dashing outfit for Donald Duck.

Quality of Life Improvements

The free update will also deliver some quality-of-life improvements as Gameloft continues to respond to player feedback. The updates this time around include:

  • Cross-platform play coming to PS5
  • Filters for wardrobe and furniture menus
  • The ability to favorite or hide certain wardrobe or furniture items
  • Outfit presets so you can save your favorite looks

If you love decorating the Valley or changing up your style, these improvements will make it easier to filter for the right item and keep track of your best looks.

Update for the A Rift in Time Expansion Pass

The free update will also include new content for Expansion Pass subscribers, bringing the current season to its conclusion. Act III will be available from August 21, finishing up the story of A Rift in Time. According to the developer update, completing this story will also add Jafar to the Valley. Given his role in the events of the season, it will be interesting to see how that pans out!

Disney Dreamlight Valley fans don’t have long to wait for the next update, so dust off your chef hats and get ready to meet Tiana!
