Well, this seems like a no-brainer, doesn't it? Disney Dreamlight Valley has just been announced, and it's a life-sim adventure game that lets you hang out with all your favourite characters. Oh, and it's free-to-play, releasing on every major platform, and lets you go fishing with Goofy. Just like indoor plumbing, this is gonna be big.
Developed by Gameloft — the studio also making kart racer Disney Speedstorm — it stars you as a new arrival in the titular village, where an event called the Forgetting has disrupted the peace and forced Disney and Pixar characters to go into hiding. Of course, it will fall to you to sort out the mess, getting to know all the heroes and villains you know and love along the way.
"Garden with WALL•E, cook with Remy, or kick back and fish with Goofy. You’ll start your adventure in the Valley, but your journey will take you to infinity… and beyond," reads the official description. As well as hanging out with these beloved characters, you'll also unlock new areas and solve the mystery of the Forgetting. Whether it's pals Woody and Buzz or evildoers like Ursula, characters will have their own quests and storylines to follow, too. Oh, and you can go nuts with customisation — you can change the look of the town, your home, and your outfit. Needless to say this will be a service game, so you will also be able to look forward to seasonal updates and new content arriving on the regular.
An early access version of the game is set to arrive on PlayStation 5 and PS4 this Summer, with a full release to come in 2023. You'll be able to opt in for early access by purchasing a Founder's Pack, but we don't know what this will contain.
Anyway, are you interested in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Does a free-to-play Disney life sim appeal to you? Sing along in the comments section below.

Not going to lie... I will try this.
@get2sammyb I've gotta say I will too and I don't care who on my friends list laughs lol
Also coming to gamepass
This looks amazing. I have young nieces and have been wondering where all the Disney games have been in the last 10 years. Closest I could find is Disneyland Adventures which they play all the time.
My daughter may love this! She loves Disney Infinity so hopefully it's similar.

I am STILL not over Free Realms on PS3 shutting down, but getting a lot of the same vibes here, can't wait!
My daughter would love this, but i dread to think what the microtransactions will cost
While I think this looks good and I think my daughter would love it, I would rather buy a full priced game not full of predatory micro transactions.
I like the concept but my only experience with a Gameloft game (the My Little Pony phone game) was not a positive one
Ngl, i’m into it. Sign me up!
@Martsmall is it coming to GP? But the game is F2P.
@lolwhatno it depends how it’s handled. For example I really want to like Genshin Impact, but I feel the free-to-play mechanics get in the way of my enjoyment.
@Cadeni yeh the early access is coming to gp without purchase of a founders pass
F2P from Disney huh, the microtransactions in this one are going to be legendary. Glad my kids are too old for this!!
@Apfelschteiner what are you on about?

I'll probably give this a try at some point, it is free to play after all.
Sounds like required playing to understand the story of Kingdom Hearts IV. I’m in!

@get2sammyb I don't think saying that I am boycotting Disney is off-topic for a story about a Disney game.
@Apfelschteiner suggesting that educators are "groomers" has absolutely nothing to do with a building sim.
@L_Bosch The only people who I was saying are groomers are people who would deny parental rights to be informed about their own child's well-being.
