After its first content update of the year in February, as I watched Scar lounge around a pond in which Ariel popped up for a bit of sun just behind where I was plucking pumpkins with newly moved-in Mirabel, I did begin to wonder when Disney Dreamlight Valley would begin to feel so packed full of animated characters that I’d feel as if I were crammed in at an actual Disney park. Not quite yet, it turns out, but this is only the first of several more content and character updates that Gameloft has planned for 2023.

The Festival of Friendship update brought two new villagers and several quality-of-life updates based on early access player feedback. The Friendship update includes Mirabel of Encanto and Olaf of Frozen to the Dreamlight Valley cast, both with their own unlock quests and friendship quests to embark on after.

Special Report- Stacked Deck - Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big.

Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big. Four years later, its successor Inkbound’s launch from Early Access was looking more like Sandwich Big.I’m not just saying that because of the mountain of lamb and eggplants I ate while meeting with developer Shiny Shoe over lunch, to feel out what the aftermath of releasing a game looks like in 2024. I mean, have I thought about that sandwich every day since? Yes. But also, the indie team talked frankly about the struggle of luring Monster Train’s audience on board for its next game.
