Disney Dreamlight Valley's latest update, "Tales of Agrabah," has officially launched, transporting players to the whimsical world of Aladdin. This free update, which dropped on February 26, 2025, introduces two beloved characters, Aladdin and Princess Jasmine, alongside new gameplay mechanics and quests.
The update invites players to explore Agrabah's marketplace, where they will face challenges brought on by a mysterious artifact unleashing turbulent sandstorms. According to the developers, players must dress appropriately for the desert environment to assist Jasmine in combatting these fierce winds.
Upon entering Agrabah through the Dream Castle's new Realm door, fans will encounter Aladdin, who provides guidance to navigate the various quests. "We can’t wait for you to explore the Aladdin-inspired Realm, befriend Jasmine and Aladdin, and discover all the 'Tales of Agrabah' update has to offer," the game’s team stated.
Completing multiple tasks will help save the marketplace from ruin and allow players to invite Aladdin and Jasmine back to the Valley as Villagers, complete with unique friendship quests offering splendid rewards. For Jasmine, players will aid her to rediscover her memories of the Valley, culminating with the need to tame some chaotic wishes.
Further exciting content includes the introduction of Scrooge McDuck's vault, which has now become the site of new stealth gameplay mechanics. "Work together on your sneaking skills to solve new challenges; if sneaking is too slow for you, glide through the Valley with your Dreamlight Tapestry, crafted through Aladdin's questline," the update details.
Players can expect plenty of new items and customization options, including resort-inspired fashions and decor as part of the Oasis Retreat Star Path. "The new update enhances both the creative aspects of gameplay and the overall experience," developers noted.
Alongside new quests and characters, this update also improves the cooking system significantly. A new Slow Cooker feature, introduced through Tiana's schematics, enables players to prepare multiple meals simultaneously, preserving their rare resources and simplifying the culinary experience.
The update also promises to refine the user interface, with inventory items now displaying their origin, making it easier for players to manage resources. Players can now also pin two bundles from the Premium Shop for future purchase, ensuring they won’t miss out on exclusive offers.
Community feedback has played a significant role in shaping this update. Gameloft has stated they revel in developing new features based on player input. Many fans expressed excitement about the addition of new Floating Islands to the game, which allows for even more room customization.
"This is one of the best updates since launch! The attention to detail and community feedback are clearly valued," shared one enthusiastic player on social media.
Besides new mechanics and quests, the update addresses numerous quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. One notable fix resolves the infamous 'squid glitch,' which had frustrated players for months. "I’ll finally be able to get rid of the squid in my house," one player shared on Reddit, showcasing the effectiveness of the developers' attentiveness to community concerns.
