Disney Dreamlight Valley, yeah, it’s everywhere since its early access back in 2022, and then the full release hit in 2023. Over five million folks couldn’t resist diving in during early access. Crazy, right? I guess it’s carved a space for itself, even with all those similar games floating around. And Disney? They’re churning out expansions like there’s no tomorrow—Alice in Wonderland just dropped, and Peter Pan’s on its way. At least, that’s the buzz.
But hey, kind of odd, almost all characters are from the newer flicks. I get it, though—aiming for the young crowd who knows the latest Disney hits. But come on, Disney’s got this treasure chest of old-school characters just sitting there. Really, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy’s pals could make a grand entrance. You feel me?
Now, imagine this mess! Huey, Dewey, and Louie from DuckTales popping up in the game. I mean, Scrooge McDuck’s already there, so why not bring in the trio and have a mini family reunion? It’s like a throwback to the ’80s show and its 2017 reboot. Kind of nostalgic, huh?
And you know, if they do bring those ducklings in, they gotta add Darkwing Duck too. Sure, it ain’t a direct spin-off, but there are overlaps in characters. Having Darkwing would just, I dunno, complete the duck squad? Plus, who wouldn’t want to hype up for that Darkwing reboot Disney+ is cooking?
Talking about Mickey and Goofy, they can hit vintage mode hard. Picture characters like Pete or even Clarabelle Cow strolling in. Feels refreshing amidst all the modern faces, right? Clarabelle’s no stranger to Disney games—she’s shown up in Toontown Online, Epic Mickey, and Kingdom Hearts. Throw her in, I say.
And let’s not skip over Max Goof! Goofy’s son from A Goofy Movie—talk about nostalgia blasting in your face! That movie’s got this cult vibe now, with everyone retro-crushing on it. Heard there’s even a fan-made doc, Not Just a Goof. Maybe Disney can ride that wave, sneak him into the game? Who knows, right?
So, say Disney’s not feeling the Mickey-Donald-Goofy trio. No worries! Remember Disney Afternoon cartoons? Like, TailSpin and Gargoyles? Spruce them up, toss ’em in Dreamlight Valley, and introduce old-school magic to new generations. Oh, and Chip and Dale! After their 2022 film, they’re kind of making a comeback.
Dreamlight Valley is already character-heavy, but honestly, adding all these golden oldies could pull in more than just the kiddies. We’ve got Alice and Peter on deck, but fingers crossed for more classic Disney vibes. Here’s hoping, right?
