Over a year after Beauty and the Beast’s Belle first starting popping up in promotional images for developer Gameloft’s Disney Dreamlight Valley, the avid book-reader, Gaston-snubber, and dinner-enjoyer will be joining the village sim today, 13th September.

Belle will be accompanied by her furry boyfriend Beast, and both will be introduced though a new Realm adventure set in the Beast’s castle, with new Friendship Quests and items becoming available once the pair move village-ward.

Additionally, players who’ve been progressing through Dreamlight Valley’s overarching story will be able to settle The Forgotten into the Valley over a series of quests, and - good news for the completionists out there (hello, it’s me) - the spooky candy event is back from 24th October to 1st November, meaning you can tidy up any seasonal Dreamlight Duties you missed last year.
