Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Lion King update has been fully detailed
Patch notes for the Pride of the Valley update published ahead of this week’s launch
Gameloft has released the patch notes for the next major Disney Dreamlight Valley update.
Launching on April 5, the Pride of the Valley update will introduce a Lion King realm.
Simba and Nala will be added as new characters, with players able to build their own version of Pride Rock.
The game’s new Star Path will be themed around Disney Parks, enabling players to customise their valley with Pixar Pal-A-Round, Dumbo the Flying Elephant or Mad Tea Party rides.
Star Paths are the game’s equivalent of Seasons, with each new Star Path giving the player tasks to perform to unlock various outfits, furniture, motifs and animal friends based on each theme.
A full list of new features and bug fixes included in the update can be found in Gameloft’s patch notes, which we’ve republished in full below.

The game’s last major update was released in February and was titled Festival of Friendship. It added two new characters – Mirabel from Encanto and Olaf from Frozen – and gave players new options for expanding and sorting their storage.
Its accompanying Star Path had a Disney 100 theme, with items based on the company’s centenary.
