#Disney Dreamlight Valley has discovered the right solution to introduce Star Wars—and I actually hope Marvel is subsequent – Destructoid

Image this: You’re strolling alongside the seaside with Darth Vader as you drive him to go fishing with you and hearken to him complain nonstop about how a lot he hates sand. That sounds just like the dream to me, and Disney Dreamlight Valley has discovered the right solution to ship it.

Now, Darth Vader and different characters aren’t really coming to DDV simply but, however we’re taking a step in the best path with some Premium Store choices from a galaxy far, distant. That is the right solution to implement the beloved franchise, and I actually hope Gameloft decides to present us extra Star Wars and ultimately set their sights on Marvel, too.

I do know not everyone seems to be a fan of Star Wars and Marvel, and that many DDV participants need the sport to stay to “basic” Disney content material solely. This simply doesn’t look like a possible purpose to me, although, contemplating how each franchises are two of Disney’s greatest hits and the way a lot love there’s for them.

As a lot as I get pleasure from each franchises, I do assume Gameloft’s name so as to add Star Wars as purely optionally available objects is the best one, and I believe it must be the transfer for all content material from this world and any hypothetical Marvel content material going ahead. This ensures that those that need to have interaction with it could, whereas those that are dedicated to avoiding it could freely achieve this.

I additionally really feel just like the Premium Store choices are most likely a take a look at to gauge the neighborhood’s response. If it goes over effectively, I think about there’s an excellent likelihood we may get a Star Wars DLC like The Storybook Vale or A Rift in Time sooner or later. Possibly even a number of completely different ones, relying on how gamers react.

Even in the event you’re not a fan, these franchises supply tons of untapped potential with so many prospects. We’re already beginning off robust with a number of the coolest objects we are able to get within the Wonderland Whimsy replace. I’m going to hold my trusty blue lightsaber completely in all places, and R2-D2 would possibly even substitute Heihei as my favourite companion, however there’s nonetheless a lot extra DDV may do.

I’m considering of a Star Wars DLC world with every biome as a unique planet, just like the deserts of Tatooine, the cruel icy areas of Hoth, and the underwater Gungan palace of Naboo. It could even be cool to see Sith-inspired clothes, villagers like Princess Leia and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and doubtlessly even a lightweight fight system for sure map areas that’s considerably just like the sneaking mechanic launched within the Tales of Agrabah replace with Jasmine and Aladdin.

Marvel additionally has so much to supply with equipment like Captain America’s defend and Thor’s hammer, homes just like the Avengers Tower, the X-Mansion, and the Sanctum Sanctorium, and costumes like Scarlet Witch’s ensemble, Spider-Man’s go well with, and an X-Males uniform. I’d additionally like to get pleasure from some shawarma with Iron Man and Black Widow, or trigger some mischief across the valley with Loki.

There’s simply a lot the DDV staff may do with these franchises, and I believe extra of each would finally profit all gamers. Star Wars and Marvel have a lot of actually cool objects that could possibly be added to the valley, so even in the event you’re not within the characters, the entire outfits, furnishings, homes, and different such objects would nonetheless be helpful in permitting for far more customization.

I’m all for the thought of totally including a lot of Star Wars and Marvel content material, however I do assume it’s important that Gameloft solely ever provides content material from these worlds via optionally available DLC. This was the right selection on their half, and I believe they completely have to stay to it in the event that they determine to do extra. There’s no different honest solution to do it since there are many robust opinions in opposition to it, and I’m all for gamers having the ability to curate their desired gameplay expertise with this.

Since there are additionally many in favor of this collaboration, preserving it as DLC looks as if the right compromise, and I actually hope Gameloft provides us a complete lot extra in future updates. In any case, there’s no different recreation you could possibly play the place Yoda may inform you “Cook dinner me 20 Pumpkin Puffs, you should,” or you could possibly yell “HULK SMASH” whereas mining rock nodes with Hulk. Identical to Rapunzel, I’ve acquired a dream, and I’m optimistic DDV will ultimately ship on it.
