8 Ways Disney Dreamlight Valley Is Different From Animal Crossing

In many ways, Disney Dreamlight Valley looks to Nintendo's Animal Crossing for guidance. Dig below the surface and you'll find Dreamlight Valley does many things in its own way.

If you haven't heard by now, the farm-life sim genre that gave us classics such as Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley is getting a new entry soon. Disney Dreamlight Valley is, in large part, exactly what it sounds like: a House of Mouse spin on the popular genre where characters such as Isabelle and Tom Nook are replaced by Princess Jasmine and Scrooge McDuck.

Players who want to get in the game during its early access period can buy the Founder's Pack, with more details on that to come at a later date.

In many ways, Disney Dreamlight Valley looks to Nintendo's dominant life sim for guidance, which means the two games play a lot alike in some regards. For example, both drop you into the world as a newcomer inheriting a fixer-upper of a home in a town full of friendly faces eager for a meet-and-greet. Both also let you live out your days on your own schedule with activities like fishing, mining, shopping, cooking, and more.
