Disney Dreamlight Valley Return to Beast's Castle update features
Disney Dreamlight Valley's Return to Beast's Castle update introduces two new characters you can invite to your village, an expanded Beauty and the Beast Realm questline, and a Halloween-themed Star Path event. Let's check out each feature in more detail.
Two new Beauty and the Beast characters
Two new characters are arriving alongside the Return to Beast's Castle update. We'll officially be introduced to Cogsworth and Lumiere, who'll help us uncover a mystery within the realm's castle before returning to our village as permanent residents.
After befriending them both and inviting them to your village, Lumiere's friendship questline will focus on investigating trouble within Tiana's restaurant. Cogsworth, on the other hand, will work together with other Dreamlight Valley residents to get your village back in order.
The Beauty and the Beast Realm expands
The Beauty and the Beast Realm's castle has taken on a spooky turn, with its interior riddled with cobwebs and dimmer lighting. After completing the realm's initial questline and befriending Belle and The Beast, we'll return during this update and work alongside Cogsworth and Lumiere to figure out what's happened. As a bonus, Belle and the Beast are also having their storylines expanded, letting you learn more about them even after completing all of their friendship quests.
Witchful Thinking Star Path
Beast's castle isn't the only spooky part of the Return to Beast's Castle update. The upcoming Star Path event, Witchful Thinking, is all about adding magical and mystical items to Disney Dreamlight Valley. From wardrobes full of potions to cauldrons to spell book gliders, the Halloween vibe is stronger than ever during this event.
Trick or Treat event
Disney Dreamlight Valley's Trick or Treat event is returning once more. In previous years, we collected green, red, and purple candies around our villages that allowed us to complete various event-specific tasks. Its past rewards will return for anyone who hasn't completed the event before, alongside brand-new items and features to spice things up. It'll run from Oct. 15 to 31.
Haunted Floating Festival
Trick or Treat isn't the only limited-time event appearing in Dreamlight Valley. Starting on Oct. 22, a mysterious portal will appear in your village, marking the beginning of the Haunted Floating Festival. During the festival, you'll explore a new island and complete puzzles to uncover rewards. It'll last until Nov. 11.
Once Upon a Dance Dream Bundle and Premium Shop additions
If you're a fan of golden clothes and adorable critters, this upcoming update's premium shop items are for you. Coming to this update is the Once Upon a Dance Dream Bundle. This bundle, priced at 4,000 Moonstones, introduces a romantic questline between Belle and The Beast, letting you unlock new outfits for each of them. You'll also obtain special royal furniture and ballroom outfits for your character.
So far, two new items are confirmed to arrive in Disney Dreamlight Valley's Premium Shop during the Return to Beast's Castle update. The first is a new Witchy Kitty animal companion that appears as a cute black cat wearing a witch's hat. We're also getting a Halloween Dream Castle skin that transforms the village's main castle into one full of purple and white lights, pumpkins, and magical floating candles.
Quality of life improvements
Alongside these new and returning events, the Return to Beast's Castle update also includes the following quality-of-life features and bug fixes:
- New camera mode poses, including a toggle feature for Night Thorns, Inkies, and Splinters of Fate, so they don't appear in your photos.
- You'll now be able to see every available reward in Dream and Companion Bundles. Locked ones will show padlocked previews until you gain access to them.
- Some collection menu categories are merging to make navigation easier.
- The Teal Baby Dragon and Black Pegasus will be available to find if you own the Storybook Vale expansion.
- Multiple quest-related bug fixes for "The Music's on the Walls," "Create a Bear," and more.
