Dive into Adventure: How The Little Mermaid Can Transform Disney Dreamlight Valley!

by

Since its launch during early access in 2022, Disney Dreamlight Valley has undergone numerous alterations and adjustments, primarily through updates. Additionally, the game’s two DLC Expansion Passes, A Rift in Time and Storybook Vale, have significantly expanded the content of this popular simulation game. However, the competition within the simulation genre is always evolving, underscoring the importance of Disney Dreamlight Valley adapting to current trends to maintain its success.

A standout and modern entry into the simulation genre is “Hello Kitty Island Adventure.” This game, hailing from another well-known IP, has significantly contributed to and validated key gameplay aspects of simulation games such as fishing, creature gathering, farming, and so on. What sets “Hello Kitty Island Adventure” apart, though, is its immersion not only in various land biomes but also under the sea. This shift in perspective isn’t exclusive to this game, but its interpretation of an underwater environment has been exceptionally well-received. It would be beneficial for “Disney Dreamlight Valley” to incorporate a similar feature, not just due to potential popularity among its audience, but because it houses numerous franchises that could justify such an addition.

The Little Mermaid Could Introduce an Underwater Biome

In a more casual and clear manner: It would be fantastic to introduce the underwater environment in Disney Dreamlight Valley with The Little Mermaid storyline. After all, the movie’s lyrics say “life is better, down where it’s wetter.” Although Ariel, Prince Eric, and Ursula are already characters within Dreamlight Valley, having an underwater biome instead of just a water-themed one would make The Little Mermaid tale the ideal fit.

Furthermore, “The Little Mermaid” has been integrated into “Disney Dreamlight Valley” since its initial release, version 1.0. The series is due for an update, and that’s definitely achievable. Similar to how “The Lion King” and “Tangled” were incorporated, “The Little Mermaid” could also be introduced through updates or downloadable content (DLC). For instance, characters like Timon, Pumbaa, Nala, Simba, Scar, and later Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, have been added to the game over time. This suggests that Ariel could potentially follow a similar path.

What an Underwater Biome in Disney Dreamlight Valley Could Look Like

It’s only fitting that an underwater ecosystem should have its own underwater inhabitants. Although Disney Dreamlight Valley already hosts some characters from The Little Mermaid, Ariel’s sea friends like Sebastian the crab and her fish companion Flounder are missing. Since crabs can move across sand but fish can’t walk, introducing Flounder in particular would make this underwater biome more authentic. Moreover, it would offer players a fresh, unexplored world to delve into.

In Disney Dreamlight Valley, there are certain prerequisites for the introduction of an underwater biome. Primarily, this underwater environment should be included in the initial version of the game, ensuring all players can access it without encountering a payment barrier. This is because such an exciting new feature should be accessible to everyone who enjoys the game.

Secondly, the presence of an underwater biome necessitates tools for exploration. For instance, Hello Kitty Island Adventure provides players with a snorkel and flippers. Similarly, Disney Dreamlight Valley has incorporated new Royal Tools like the Royal Hourglass in A Rift in Time expansion and the Royal Net in Storybook Vale through its Expansion Passes.

Since tools have been introduced through DLC in the past, it could be strategic for Gameloft and Disney to view an underwater biome as a compelling factor for the game’s third Expansion Pass. However, given the potential vastness of this update, it would be equitable to include an underwater biome in the base game of Disney Dreamlight Valley.
