Media Molecule details new features for full Dreams release

Media Molecule has provided details on the new features set to be included in the full version of Dreams when it launches early next year.

Sony withdrew the early access version of the PS4 game from sale on Saturday and announced on Tuesday that the full title will be released on February 14, 2020.

In a PlayStation Blog post accompanying the release date announcement and the latest Dreams trailer, communications manager Abbie Heppe outlined the new content that will be available to early access players and newcomers alike when the full version of the game creation platform launches.

“We have also been working on a whole host of new things to inspire players at launch, including a totally new introduction to the game, a new season of tutorials, tool improvements, new game content and a feature-length game, titled Art’s Dream,” she said.

“Art’s Dream was made by us to show the endless possibilities in Dreams; It crosses genres, features some amazing characters, and shows our love of music in a big way.”

Heppe said Media Molecule has “some really cool stuff planned for post-launch too”. The studio has previously confirmed that Dreams will support PlayStation VR. While it won’t be present at launch, Heppe tweeted to say it’s currently being worked on and will be made available “ASAP”.

Dreams is available to pre-order now for £34.99 / €39.99 / $39.99. Dreams Early Access players will be upgraded to the full version at no extra cost via a downloadable update at launch.
