A new update for Disney Dreamlight Valley arrived on Wednesday and it introduces some new friends to the valley. The lionkingNala and Simba join the neighborhood, located outside their own realm. The Lion King Realm is a lush jungle environment, along with the grim barrens where the light does not reach. Of course, there is no epic battle for the realm, but you can set up a cool barbecue in the Lion King Realm and invite your friends.
The update, Pride of the Valley, is free and includes new story missions, including Buzz Lightyear investigating a possible alien invasion, and secret meeting places between Ursula and Mother Gothel. The Lion Realm can be accessed through the Dream Castle and players can help Nala and Lion get used to life in the neighborhood.
The update also comes with a new Star Path, which tasks players with completing in-game tasks in exchange for cosmetics. This Star Trail features items from the Disney parks, including lanyards and famous attractions.
This is one of the theme updates that developer Gameloft has added to the life sim since its launch in Early Access. Encanto and Olaf the Snowman were added in February and another update is planned for early summer.
