Disney Dreamlight Valley getting “Return to Beast’s Castle” update

Gameloft has pulled back the curtain on the next Disney Dreamlight Valley update, which is “Return to Beast’s Castle”. It will be available on October 1, 2025 for Nintendo Switch players for free.

Disney Dreamlight Valley features Lumiere and Cogsworth as new residents. Also planned is the Premium Shop “Once Upon a Dance” Dream Bundle, “Witchful Thinking” Star Path, and Haunting Floating Festivals limited-time event.

Here’s the full rundown:

“Return to Beast’s Castle” brings players back to the Beast’s iconic abode, where mysterious goings-on have the usually stoic Lumiere and Cogsworth from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast in a tizzy! Work with the pair to uncover the mysteries of the Castle and once solved, welcome them as the Valley’s newest residents. Once moved in, players can work with both even more as they solve the mysterious troubles with Tiana’s Palace and other problems cropping up in the Valley.

Continuing the theme of “Return to Beast’s Castle,” a brand-new Premium Shop “Once Upon a Dance” Dream Bundle offers exclusive new Dream Styles for Belle and the Beast. It unlocks magical new interactions between the two characters when they meet in the Valley. The Premium Shop will also get a major update with the addition of the Witchy Kitty, a purr-fect companion for the spooky season ahead, and the first ever skin for the Dream Castle, the Halloween Castle.

More chills and thrills await players in the new “Witchful Thinking” Star Path, where they’ll get to explore a world of mystical vibes and witchy charms. Spellbinding furniture fit for any self-respecting witch, seasonably frightful outfits, and bone-chilling decoration items are just a few of the rewards awaiting players. As a bonus, the community-favorite Trick or Treat event is returning! From October 15th to the 31st, players can take part in limited-time activities with a mystery new reward up for grabs.

Last but not least, players should keep an eye out for a very special limited-time event kicking off on October 22nd, the Haunting Floating Festivals! A magical floating island has appeared in the sky above Dreamlight Valley, and players will have until November 11th to solve its many puzzles. Different puzzles will unlock over time, and each one will give players an exclusive reward once solved!

A trailer for the Disney Dreamlight Valley “Return to Beast’s Castle” update should be coming soon. We’ll add it here once it’s available.
