To help celebrate the centennial, Disney Dreamlight Valley is delivering you deep into the Hundred-Acre Wood to go on adventures with Pooh, Eeyore, and Piglet with the game’s first-ever Adventure Pack.
The Disney Dreamlight Valley: Honeyglow Woods Adventure Pack, which releases on July 8, includes a Pooh-themed story, cast, and landscape.
The adventure begins with you planting a Tree Sprout anywhere in your Valley or your base game Floating Islands. Once the tree grows, it becomes a magical glowing tree that allows you to cross over to a hazy, mist-shrouded Honeyglow Woods.
You’ll first meet Winnie the Pooh Bear, who will want to spend some time playing hide-and-seek and watching the fluffy clouds drift over the wood.
Next, you’ll have to help Eeyore find the pin-on-tail he’s constantly misplacing. Finally, you’ll help Piglet face his fears and reunite the three.
The Honeyglow Woods is, of course, inspired by the classic story’s Hundred Acre Wood and includes four locations: the flower packed, sunny Drowsybloom Acre, the murky marsh of Gloommeadow, the dense forest of Braveheart Grove, and — a Pooh Bear favorite — the Nectar Apiary and its many honeycombs.
As you restore each of the areas and uncover the secrets within the Everoak Tree, which stands in the middle of the Woods, you’ll mend the land and slowly unravel the mystery at the heart of this adventure.
Once you’re done with those adventures you’ll be able to invite the three back to your Valley, where they will arrive with their own homes, Friendship Quests, and rewards.
The Adventure Pack also includes a brand new gameplay mechanic: beekeeping, which Wiinnie the Pooh is more than happy to introduce you to. By placing flowers around the bee hotels, they'll get pollinated, which will generate more honey in the bee homes. Once fully pollinated, the Busy Bees’ House will double the growth of flowers in the same Biome. You can even move the homes around, including to the Biomes of your base game Valley.
You can also use the honey from the bee boxes to unlock new honey-based recipes and furniture.
The Adventure Pack, which includes 2,000 Moonstones, also includes a new critter — the hedgehog — and a new mini-game: Pooh Sticks. If you’ve never read the books or watched the cartoon, you’re in for a treat as you head to the Honeyglow bridge to aim and drop a stick or other item into the river below, and then watch to see which one makes it down the river first.
You can pick up the Adventure Pack now on the Epic Games Store. If you buy the pack before 23:59 p.m. ET on July 22 you’ll also get the Rainy Day Winnie The Pooh Dream Style.
