Disney Dreamlight Valley fans are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the game's third major update, Festival of Friendship. Though fans know it will be arriving sometime in February thanks to the early 2023 Dreamlight Valley roadmap, there's been no word about an official date quite yet. That said, a new tweet with cryptic emojis is telling fans to expect something on February 6th, though what that will be remains a mystery. It's definitely worth digging into the meaning behind these emojis and what this tweet might be hinting at, especially for fans that simply can't wait to enjoy the new update and everything it brings with it.
This isn't the first time Disney Dreamlight Valley has hyped up its updates ahead of time, and it doesn't seem like it will be the last. The use of emojis to reference new content or to point fans in certain directions has become something of a staple with this game's marketing and social media presence.
As fans can see, the tweet is very simple, only consisting of five emojis and a date. The calendar at the beginning is likely meant to represent a date. It's possible this could be the date of the update itself, but more likely it means that the update's release date will be revealed soon. The next four emojis are all allusions to upcoming features in the Festival of Friendship update. Finally, the date at the end of the tweet means players should learn the answer to these mysteries tomorrow.
Regarding what the other four emojis mean, it's actually quite simple based on what has already been shown of the update. The snowman is none other than Olaf, the new Frozen character confirmed for Disney Dreamlight Valley. The '100' emoji is probably in reference to the Disney 100th anniversary Star Path that will accompany Festival of Friendship. The house could mean two different things. On the one hand, it could refer to Casita, the home of Mirabel, another incoming character, or it could instead hint towards the new housing customization feature for players. Finally, the rabbit emoji alludes to the new rabbit companion.
The real mystery to this tweet is whether the update will actually be released on February 6th or if the release date will be revealed on February 6th. The latter seems more likely, as Disney Dreamlight Valley usually gives more warning for updates. Thankfully, fans don't have to wait long to see for themselves.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is in early access now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
