Disney Dreamlight Valley's 'The Lucky Dragon' Update Arrives, Here Are The Patch Notes

Disney Dreamlight Valley isn't slowing down anytime soon, as today, the life sim's latest update has arrived.

The Lucky Dragon brings a whole new realm to the Valley, starring Mulan and her trusty dragon companion Mushu. Based on the 1998 Disney animated classic, the new realm will see you waking up Mulan, heading to the training grounds, and eventually, setting up Mushu's Dragon Temple.

The update also introduces a new Star Path in 'Majesty and Magnolia', which unlocks new Mulan-inspired accessories and decorations, new beach-themed Premium decor, the Memory Mania event — which runs from now until 17th July — and more.

Here are the full patch notes from developer Gameloft:
