Disney Dreamlight Valley’s next update finally unlocks secrets inside Skull Rock

The Disney Dreamlight Valley team aired a developer update today, and it provided a look at everything we can expect to see arriving in the valley soon. One of the biggest announcements is the continuation of the main storyline as we finally unlock the ability to travel inside Skull Rock. Skull Rock will open in the Mysteries of Skull Rock update for Disney Dreamlight Valley, arriving on June 18. This iconic location from Peter Pan is bringing with it the film's protagonist and a surprising second villager—our old friend, The Forgotten.

This quest is called Between Skull Rock and a Hard Place, and during it, Skull Rock moved. Since then, we've all been eager to venture inside Skull Rock and discover what might be hiding inside. After waiting just under two years, the Mysteries of Skull Rock update is opening Skull Rock and freeing Peter Pan. He's the main new villager featured in this update, and he's bringing with him the lost boy's tree as his house, plus several friendship rewards to unlock. The second character included in this update is The Forgotten. Our dark, shadowy counterpart has been wandering the valley aimlessly since the last story quest, so with this update, we can finally befriend them, name them, and help them find purpose in the village.

The Adventures in Neverland Star Path is bringing plenty of pirate and mermaid-themed items to the valley, inspired by Peter Pan. This event features new Dream Styles for Minnie Mouse and Goofy, a pirate Monkey companion, a bubble-blowing conch machine, and much more. Critter companions are currently just adorable sidekicks who follow us around the valley, but they're getting a massive upgrade in the next update. All critters will have friendship levels and rewards, similar to those villagers possess, after this update launches. We'll also be able to name all companions who don't have set names from Disney films like Heihei and Pua. The first-ever dog critter companion is being added with this update, and it's none other than Prince Eric's loyal dog Max from The Little Mermaid. He's part of a Premium Shop bundle, so you have to spend Moonstones to add him to your collection. Shortly after the Mysteries of Skull Rock update, we're also getting the finale of The Storybook Vale DLC with The Unwritten Realms update on July 9. It's bringing with it Maleficent, whom we met during The Mistress of All Evil quest, and Princess Aurora from The Sleeping Beauty.
