Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Season of Scares update arrives on Wednesday, September 23, and is themed around The Nightmare Before Christmas. The life sim’s developers set out the contents of the update ahead of release, and MassivelyOP reported them on September 19.
The update’s quest line begins at a mirror that transports players to Oogie Boogie’s lair, where they work out what he has planned for the Valley. Completing it unlocks rewards including the ghostly dog Zero and Oogie Boogie himself. Players have to start the quest before November 4; after that date it is unavailable until next year.
Returning events and quality-of-life changes
The Trick-or-Treat event and the Haunted Floating Festival both return in October, and a new star path, Haunting Elegance, carries seasonal rewards. Two quality-of-life additions ship in the same update.
- An event board that tracks live events in one place
- An emote wheel for quicker access to emotes
The Keepsake Sea expansion
Alongside the update, the studio announced the game’s next expansion, The Keepsake Sea. It adds biomes both above and below the sea and brings in several new characters, among them Milo Thatch, Captain Jack Sparrow and Megara.
A preview trailer for the expansion is already out, and further details are scheduled for October 21. A video digest covering the Season of Scares update was published at the same time.
