Going back on its initial promise of making Disney Dreamlight Valley free-to-play upon global launch, Gameloft has announced that it will continue to be a paid game with various pricing tiers. Additionally, players will need to purchase an expansion pack called ‘A Rift in Time’ for access to the next major update.
Players who bought Founder’s packs to access Disney Dreamlight Valley during its year-long beta phase will retain their access to the game. They will also keep their in-game currency, called Moonstones, as well as their saved game progress.
In the blog post, Gameloft said,
“This choice ensures that Disney Dreamlight Valley will be able to continue delivering on a premium game experience for all players. It’s important to us that we maintain our promise to keep delivering free content updates that add new characters, realms, clothing, furniture, and more surprises to your Valley.
Purchases requiring moonstones will remain optional, fair, and match the level of quality players have come to expect. Players will still be able to collect free Moonstones via Dream Snaps and Chests, or optionally choose to purchase them. “
