Disney Dreamlight Valley’sMysteries of Skull Rock update went live on June 18, introducing Peter Pan, a continuation of The Forgotten’s storyline, and changes to Skull Rock that transform it from a decorative skull structure to a fully fleshed-out, pirate-themed region.
When Gameloft first teased this update in their content roadmaps, I was stoked to see what Skull Rock’s inside would look like. I figured it would have something to do with pirates, but I wasn’t expecting it to be full of puzzles and riddles. When it comes to mechanics that get your brain going, this quest series takes the cake.
When it came to my first impressions in-game, though, I was immediately confused about how to start. Gameloft confirmed there was no Peter Pan realm, so figuring out how to begin his story and realizing this confusion stemmed from a bug had me worried about what the rest of this update would look like. I didn’t encounter any other issues outside of this, thankfully, but spending 15 minutes restarting my game until The Forgotten decided to talk to me was unexpected and somewhat frustrating.
That is, until I entered Skull Rock. The inside fits the pirate-themed vibe perfectly, and my initial excitement returned instantly. I only got more excited as I progressed through The Forgotten and Peter Pan’s quests, especially with how tough its puzzles were. I would’ve been lost without hints, but honestly, that makes it all the more fun.
Being able to rename The Forgotten is also great. Any chance to get creative with character and village customization is a win in my books.
I gave my version of The Forgotten the name “Crysta” based on an imaginary friend I had in my early childhood. No, I don’t mean Crystal. I’m not sure why my younger self loved this spelling so much, but I still enjoy it enough to revisit it occasionally.
Overall, I enjoyedDisney Dreamlight Valley’sMysteries of Skull Rock update, even if my first impression was lukewarm. I liked it as much as the previous Alice in Wonderland update, but not quite as much as the Aladdin one that came before it. I’m just glad to have more content to play around with until The Storybook Vale’s second half releases in July.
