The free story expansion will come shortly before the new paid expansion later this year.
While all Disney Dreamlight Valley are pretty excited to start their ranches later this year with the paid DLC titled WishBlossom Ranch, there will be some more content heading our way a bit sooner.
The most recent roadmap for the game revealed 3 different free DLC expansions, and the second one was very clearly Beauty and the Beast related, and the time has finally come to get our hands on it. A recent teaser on their official channels showcased Cogsworth and Lumière, and now we got a pretty clear teaser.

Don’t worry about the video, it’s literally just the picture with a few animations.
However we have the details!
“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.
And THANKFULLY we will get a real Halloween event this year. The past year had a lame rock themed star path while mostly ignoring Halloween with a few redundant items, but this year seems different. A new star path titled Witchful Thinking will release that 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.
That’s not all either, there is a new event titled 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!
That’s a ton of free content, and the Wishblossom Ranch is set to be further revealed in October as well!
