There’s never been a better time to jump into Disney Dreamlight Valley, but it might not be obvious how to start A Rift in Time. Whether you’re a beginner or have been playing Gameloft‘s cozy sim since early access, here’s what you need to know.
How To Start a Rift in Time in Disney Dreamlight Valley
A Rift in Time brings a ton of new content to the game. That includes new characters, new tool upgrades, new biomes, new stories, and even a new board game. With all that newness to check out in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you’re probably eager to know how to start A Rift in Time. The process is a bit different depending on whether you’re a returning player who already has some time in the or you’re starting DDV for the first time. If you’ve already completed the game’s opening guests, A Rift in Time will automatically begin after you launch the game with the DLC installed.
If you’re starting a fresh save, however, you have a little bit of work ahead of you before you can start A Rift in Time and access Eternity Isle. You need to complete the following four early-game quests before you can check out the new content:
- The Dream Castle – Merlin
- Making Cents of Things – Scrooge
- Fishing Expedition – Goofy
- Scrooge McDuck’s Grand Re-opening – Scrooge
Completing the last quest will trigger a cutscene involving the appearance of a stone tablet in the Plaza. That leads to an invitation from a hologram of Jafar. The Disney villain will give you some surprising information, after which you must speak with Merlin. Now just complete “The Port of Many Worlds” quest to gain access to A Rift in Time. Now it’s time to make some new friends in Dreamlight Valley.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
