The first part of Disney Dreamlight Valley’s new Expansion Pass, Storybook Vale, launches on November 20. To get ready for the new expansion, the game received an update with plenty of bug fixes and tweaks for all players, whether or not they’ve preordered Storybook Vale.
The upcoming Expansion Pass will add a new land and story content for players who opt in to the paid DLC, including new quests and characters to meet and befriend. It includes three new biomes, new critters to feed, and new plants to grow and forage. Much of this latest update is preparing the base game for this new content, but there are a few tweaks and fixes for all players as well.

Base game additions include an additional rotation of goods for all three locations of Scrooge McDuck‘s store, as well as a new pose in Photo Mode. On top of that, the update brings minor changes and bug fixes to help improve gameplay across the board for players on all consoles. That’s great news for players struggling with clipping with their outfits or being constantly redirected to Chez Remy when trying to track their Disney friends at Tiana’s Palace.
