Disney Dreamlight Valley’s new Star Path slammed as major “disappointment”

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I find myself standing at the crossroads of delight and dismay with Disney Dreamlight Valley’s latest Star Path update. On one hand, I appreciate the fresh take on concerts and punk aesthetics, which is a departure from the usual game offerings, and the collaboration with Loungefly adds a unique twist to the gameplay experience.


The latest update for Disney Dreamlight Valley, titled Jungle Getaway, introduces a fresh Star Path themed around concerts and punk culture, as well as an array of new backpacks in partnership with Loungefly. However, these new elements have sparked criticism from fans.

In a similar fashion to battle passes in numerous other games, the Star Path allows Disney Dreamlight Valley players to accomplish tasks that yield tokens, which can be utilized to obtain unique and fresh rewards exclusively available during the current update.

Nonetheless, the ongoing route has left players dissatisfied, with numerous critics referring to it as “advertisement integration” and a “letdown.” Some have even expressed feelings of being “deceived” by Gameloft.

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s new Star Path slammed as major “disappointment”

One player expressed some disappointment in the latest game update by saying, “I feel a bit short-changed with the new star path.” They understand that the developers don’t want to repeat Halloween events, but they believe this update seems more like promotion for the backpack collaboration rather than an original update that the developers are genuinely proud of.

Many people shared their disappointment, expressing: “For the first time, I won’t be purchasing a pass since its release. The recent updates/tracks have significantly enhanced the game compared to earlier ones. However, this latest update seems like a significant regression to me.

Besides causing frustration with the backpack collaboration, many players found that the theme didn’t align well with the game or their personal preferences, particularly considering its close connection to Halloween, a time when Disney usually excels.

One player candidly expressed their dislike for it and felt disappointed, stating, “I really can’t stand this one.” Meanwhile, another player was frustrated by the absence of Halloween elements, saying, “It’s incredibly annoying that there’s nothing Halloween-related here.

“I’m not sure about this one. I won’t wear or use more than half of this” added another fan.

In the end, players found several aspects that led to their dissatisfaction, with the heavy product placements during the Loungefly partnership, a noticeable absence of Halloween-themed decorations, and a significantly reduced rewards section being the main complaints.

Previously, during last year’s October update, the Star Path exclusively highlighted Halloween-themed content, which was a massive hit with our audience. However, since then, we’ve expanded the number of reward pages from six to seven. Unfortunately, this shift in focus towards something that seems less appealing to many fans coincides with a decrease in the total number of rewards available for redemption.

It’s worth noting that not every fan felt frustrated. In fact, one user expressed their affection for the rewards, exclaiming “the combat boots with different colored laces? I’m wearing combat boots in real life as we speak! I might not usually decorate, but the clothing and hairstyles are fantastic and perfectly align with my personal style.

Many found it commendable that there were no motifs, an aspect that has long frustrated gamers: “Having no motifs feels like the most significant victory to me.

Though many players may be disheartened by the latest Star Path release, there’s a group who are excited because they feel it brings more of their preferred style into the comforting game. Fortunately, a Halloween event is on the horizon, ensuring we’ll still have some chilling delights and activities to savor.
