Gameloft's Disney Dreamlight Valley has recently gone on social media to tease the possibility of having animal companion interactions in a future game update. With Disney Dreamlight Valley filled with different animal types and species, being able to interact with these critters and do something more than have them follow the player around will likely be a welcome feature in the game's community.

Befriending companions and characters in Disney Dreamlight Valley is one of the major features of the life sim. For Disney characters that reside in the Valley, players are often required to build relationships with them to progress major storylines and quests. However, animal companions have simpler roles in the game. Players need only to gift these creatures with food over a course of time, and soon, the animals will start following the player's character around the map. Now that Disney Dreamlight Valley is teasing additional features for animal companions, fans will likely have more incentive to befriend the Valley's animal residents.

On Twitter, the official account of Disney Dreamlight Valley raised a poll on whether the game's community would like to see interactions with animal companions in future updates. The options in the poll were all positive and variations of a yes, indicating that the development team is likely already working on the feature. In this case, the question to the community now would be when they would want to see the new Disney Dreamlight Valley gameplay feature implemented into the life sim. The poll results showed that the players want to see it in the next update already.

Unfortunately, the development team did not share the exact date of when the new feature will be added into the video game. Given the resounding positive answers on the poll and even the comments section of the Twitter post, the player base is already waiting in anticipation to be able to interact with the animal companions in the life sim. Fans will simply have to wait for the next Disney Dreamlight Valley update for the official timeline of when the team will release the upcoming feature.

It is likely interesting to see Disney Dreamlight Valley taking its community's opinions and feedback seriously. This can be seen in how the devs have been rolling out patches and game fixes to improve the title's gameplay and quality-of-life issues. Now that Disney Dreamlight Valley has teased a new gameplay feature, fans will have something else to look forward to beyond the character and story additions that will come with the next title updates.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S.
