Since its launch, Disney Dreamlight Valley has kept players occupied with regular updates, consistently bringing new content to the valley. Updates are released fairly frequently, so you might wonder when the next one is.
If you’re eager to explore new additions to the valley as soon as they’re available, knowing when to expect the next update can be helpful, especially if you want to prepare by stocking up on Star Coins or key resources. Here’s everything we know about when the next Disney Dreamlight Valley update is.

When is the next update for Disney Dreamlight Valley?
The next Disney Dreamlight Valley update will be released in early 2025. Although an official date hasn’t been shared yet, this likely means sometime in late February. DDV has a pretty consistent update schedule, with new content launching every other month. Since the last update launched in December, we’re due for new content in February.
The Frost & Fairies Star Path event ended on Feb. 4. When these special events conclude, we usually get a fresh Star Path to work on fairly soon after, which is another strong indicator that we can expect to see a new update in early February.
Based on past patterns, the next update will likely launch sometime between Feb. 13 to Feb. 26. Gameloft often releases updates on Wednesdays, so Feb. 19 or Feb. 26 seem like the most likely dates. We usually get some teasers in the weeks leading up to the update, though, so since we haven’t gotten any yet, Feb. 26 seems like the most likely date.
The last update, which was the Sew Delightful one that brought Sally to the island, launched on Dec. 2, 2024. Leading up to this update, we were consistently getting a new update about two weeks after the Star Path ended. This pattern seems to have changed ahead of the next update, though. This might only be temporary, perhaps because of a holiday break, but we won’t know for sure until we see how long it takes to release the next update after this one.
All past updates launched at exactly 8am CT, so the next update will likely do the same as long as everything stays on schedule. There’s no official name for this update just yet, but based on the 2025 DDV roadmap, we already know what it will include.
What will the next Disney Dreamlight Valley update include?
The next DDV update will feature the arrival of Jasmine and Aladdin from the film Aladdin. They’ll be joining Jafar to become the second and third characters to arrive on the island from this movie.
So far, we only have one small teaser for these characters on the 2025 roadmap. It’s an image with Aladdin’s hat and Jasmine’s headband alongside the phrase “Explore a new world and revel on a magical adventure.”
Beyond the arrival of these two characters, nothing else is known about this update so far. Although you might be eager to visit Agrabah, it likely won’t include a new Realm to explore since you can already visit The Sultan’s Palace and the Cave of Wonders if you have a Rift in Time.
How often does Disney Dreamlight Valley receive updates?
DDV doesn’t have an officially confirmed update schedule, but based on my experience with Gameloft’s update patterns so far, you can generally expect to see a new update release about every other month or about two weeks after an active Star Path event ends.
Some of these updates are much bigger than others, but Gameloft has so far delivered some form of new content in an update about every other month nonetheless. The bigger updates usually include a new Realm to explore and two characters to meet while the smaller ones usually just have one character you can find and recruit from around the village. Both types of updates usually come with massive changes and additions too as past updates have introduced features like Floating Islands, Daisy’s Boutique, and DreamSnaps challenges.
There’s usually an active roadmap that gives a clear picture of when we can expect to see new content and teasers for what to expect. Beyond this, there are also lots of known leaked characters who provide further insight into what future content may arrive.
All upcoming Disney Dreamlight Valley updates
There are three known free updates for DDV arriving in the future. These updates are as follows.
- Early 2025 (February) Jasmine and Aladdin update.
- Spring 2025 (April or May) Alice in Wonderland update.
- Summer 2025 (June or July) Skull Rock, Peter Pan, and The Storybook Vale finale update.
All of these updates include free base game content available to all players. The Summer 2025 update also has the finale for The Storybook Vale DLC, which will likely include the ability to unlock Maleficent and Aurora if you have this pack installed.
Once the last known update is released in Summer 2025, we’ll likely get another roadmap outlining content for the rest of the year. We can probably expect to see around three additional updates throughout the rest of the year, plus a possible DLC announcement.
