We learned a lot from the first-ever Disney Dreamlight Valley Showcase, a new live stream format that delivers Disney Dreamlight Valley fans a regular helping of juicy information about upcoming updates. 

Following last month’s confirmation that the game would leave early access this December as a paid release, there were several surprising reveals about what else to expect in the months ahead.

The biggest reveal here was easily the announcement of the game’s first paid expansion, A Rift in Time, which arrives in three parts next year. Containing a whole new open-world area to explore, the time-bending Eternity Isle, this expansion focuses on a fresh story following the sinister machinations of Aladdin's Jafar.

Eternity Isle contains three new biomes, the mysterious Ancient’s Landing, the scorching hot Glittering Dunes, and the dense jungles of Wild Tangle. Each of these areas also introduces a host of new characters, including Gaston from Beauty and the Beast and EVE from WALL-E. This additional world is roughly the same size as the one found in the base game and will cost $29.99.
