Gameloft has quietly revealed the next expansion for life sim, Disney Dreamlight Valley: Wishblossom Ranch. The name comes from the scheduled trailer premiere on the official Dreamlight Valley YouTube channel, scheduled to unlock tomorrow, September 3rd at 12pm Eastern/10am Pacific.

The only thing we know so far is the name, and the thumbnail pic. Judging from both, it’s safe to assume the new expansion is themed around a ranch, including horses! If we can glide with wings and a magic carpet, why not ride a horse?

The image doesn’t tease any new characters, but previous expansions A Rift in Time and Storybook Vale each added five new characters, including at least one major villain.

We know there’s at least one famous Disney horse: Maximus from Tangled! Plus, including a Tangled character in an expansion is kind of tradition, with Rapunzel in Rift in Time, and Flynn appearing in Storybook Vale.

Let the character speculations begin! Who’s still missing? Hercules? Pocahontas? Snow White! Ralph? Can we get Nick and Judy from Zootopia?

Previous expansion have also released in multiple parts, with only some of the characters and quests available when they first release. Even after the trailer, we expect we’ll only know some of the new arrivals. There’s also a chance Wishblossom Ranch breaks tradition and releases fully complete.

One thing we’re more confident with is the release date. Both previous expansions have released (as part 1) near the end of the year, around November or December. We expect the third expansion to maintain the same annualized schedule.
