After its first content update of the year in February, as I watched Scar lounge around a pond in which Ariel popped up for a bit of sun just behind where I was plucking pumpkins with newly moved-in Mirabel, I did begin to wonder when Disney Dreamlight Valley would begin to feel so packed full of animated characters that I’d feel as if I were crammed in at an actual Disney park. Not quite yet, it turns out, but this is only the first of several more content and character updates that Gameloft has planned for 2023.

The Festival of Friendship update brought two new villagers and several quality-of-life updates based on early access player feedback. The Friendship update includes Mirabel of Encanto and Olaf of Frozen to the Dreamlight Valley cast, both with their own unlock quests and friendship quests to embark on after.
