Disney Dreamlight Valley update 1.21 has been released by Gameloft, and this brings the Missions in Uncharted Space content alongside adjustments. Check out everything new in the Disney Dreamlight Valley December 6 patch notes.
Disney Dreamlight Valley Update 1.21 Patch Notes | Disney Dreamlight Valley Missions in Uncharted Space Patch Notes | Disney Dreamlight Valley December 6 Patch Notes:
IMPROVEMENTS & OPTIMIZATION
– We are now fully compatible with Steam Deck and verified by Steam.
– Optimized game stability on all platforms. In particular, we put a considerable focus on optimizing the experience on Nintendo Switch, which players should find smoother now. We will continue to evaluate the performance of each platform and push for further improvements and optimizations in upcoming updates as part of Early Access.
– It’s getting chilly outside, so we’ve updated many of the fireplaces in Dreamlight Valley to allow you to manually light them. Exceptions include the Horned Tavern Fireplace, Cozy Fireplace, Antique Furnace, and Celestial Fireplace.
– Kristoff has expanded the inventory of his stall to include a wider range of items (Pssst… there may be some iron ingots in there).
– Improved wood distribution across all biomes. This change will make it so that the wood you find in each biome feels less random. While spawn rates will be slightly less frequent than before, each biome will now have a fixed set of wood that can spawn and will appear in consistent amounts, taking the guesswork out of gathering.
– Buffed critter stomachs to allow for even more treat sharing. It is now possible to feed critters multiple times per day.
– Reduced game loading times across all platforms.
– Reduced game installation size.
– Improved the loading of in-game assets to provide players with better performance.
– Deployed optimizations to reduce chances of frame drops which were caused by certain animations.
– Improved performance and memory usage of large gardens (50+ plants) while gardening.
– Removed “dried plant” VFX to improve game performance.
– Optimized various VFX to improve game performance.
– Fixed memory leaks which led to reduced performance and crashes in certain circumstances.
– Improved Item limits feedback in Furniture Edit Mode by adding a second on-screen counter. The top counter tracks the number of different items placed in the Valley, while the bottom counter tracks the total number of items, including duplicates. This should provide more clarity when reaching these limits, as like before, hitting either limit will prevent players from placing any more items in their Valley – unique items or total items respectively – until they remove items to make space.
BUG FIXES
– All avatars now have the same animation speeds. Specifically, you will notice that crop watering and cooking animations have been updated to reflect this.
– We’ve confirmed that critters are not conspiring against you. Critters that have been befriended through feeding will now correctly appear in the Collection menu.
– Camera-shy no more! The avatar will now always look at the camera when in selfie mode.
– Fixed a soft-lock which sometimes occurred when pressing the Return to Title Screen button.
– The Collection menu now updates correctly when new resources are collected.
– “A Deal with Ursula” quest: Players who previously had picked up the Dark Crystal should now be able to complete the quest.
– “Photo Fervor” quest: The Elephant Graveyard can now be properly photographed.
– “The Dreamlight Fountain” quest: The Celebration Ribbon will now be properly recognized when placed close to the fountain.
– “Part of His World” quest: Players who were encountering a blocker will find the Nautilus consumable has been given back, which should unlock progression.
– “Lair Sweet Lair” quest: When Goofy redecorated his house, he accidentally misplaced a quest-critical piece of paper. It has been recovered and returned to its expected position in his house.
– “Peacemakers” quest: Improved collision issues with palm trees to reduce the chance of Leader Shards and other items getting caught in them.
Shrink down for a new Realm adventure!
It’s no secret that a new Realm door is unlocking in the Dream Castle – this time leading you to Bonnie’s room, the current safe haven for a familiar pair of toy-sized heroes; Buzz Lightyear and Woody! What’s more unique is that when entering this Realm, you may find things larger than life – or that you’ve shrunken down to toy-size! For a sneak-peek of what awaits you, check out our previously released trailer shared during the 2022 games showcase at the D23 Expo!
Once Buzz and Woody return to the Village, you will help Woody learn the magic of childhood memories and help Buzz as he enlists the support of Dreamlight Valley’s residents to establish its first Star Command outpost. You’re also in for a surprise as you help uncover the source behind some village mischief alongside Donald Duck, culminating in a new resident from beyond the stars!
A new Star Path begins!
In addition to decorating your Villages with homes for our new heroes from Disney’s Toy Story, you’ll also have plenty of opportunities to get into a festive mood with the release of the new Festive Star Path, filled to the brim with new and exclusive items to help you get cozy and warm in Dreamlight Valley.
Besides new clothing, furniture, and accessories, the Festive Star Path also includes the all-new Dream Styles feature that allows you to outfit both Mickey Mouse and Merlin in special festive “Dream Style” holiday fashions.
Seasonal Content
Will you build a snowman, explore the chilly peaks of Frosted Heights, or discover new festive recipes with all your Disney and Pixar friends as you celebrate the holidays together? It’s up to you in Missions in Uncharted Space – but know that we’re not stopping there. With the holidays on the horizon, you can expect festive activities later this December to celebrate the season of giving!
Community Driven Changes
We’re so excited to share this absolutely story and content packed second update with our fans – but what’s more is that we’ve also made sure to listen to your thoughts and take the time to shape the game with our players feedback in mind. Here’s just a few of the changes and additions that you can expect in this Update:
– We’ve added a Day/Night toggle so that fans from every time zone can choose to enjoy Dreamlight Valley’s sunsets and sunrises as they choose! This is a visual change only, and will not affect gameplay.
– Previously unlocked by players in our Wishlist Campaign (link to blog article) – the first Character Skins are available in the Valley! You can find two new ‘Dreamlight Styles’ for Merlin and Mickey available in the Festive Star Path.
– Worried about the environmental concerns of leaving your lights on in your home? You can now toggle floor/wall lights on and off.
– You can now hang out with Ariel! We can’t wait to see your adventures together.
– It looks like Kristoff expanded his stall offerings – you’ll now find other purchasable materials on sale, including iron ingots.
– Want to unlock your entire Star Path immediately? Optional Moonstone packages are now available for purchase.
– Steam Deck users, rejoice! Disney Dreamlight Valley has been officially verified as fully compatible with Steam Deck.

The Colosseums of Limgrave, Leyndell and Caelid will open their gates, allowing players to engage in battles such as duels, free-for-alls and team fights.
Prove your worth in the free Colosseum Update.

Renowned actor David Harbour is slated to star in a horror game that may come out as early as next year. The Stranger Things actor brought up the reveal in an interview with Sports Illustrated.
“I actually have one coming out… Me and Jodie Comer did a video game. That’ll be coming out… I think it’s next year. A horror game.”
Jodie Comer, who David mentions is starring alongside him for the project, is a distinguished actress herself. The award-winning British actress has been in projects such as Star Wars Episode IX, Free Guy, The Last Duel, and much more.

That’s it for the patch notes. The Division 2 is out now for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
Red Beard Games has pushed out Divine Knockout update 1.21, which is the game’s day one update given it’s launching today! Of note given the game is also launching as a PlayStation Plus freebie starting today, which should mean a good influx of players. Read on for what’s new in the Divine Knockout December 6 patch notes.
No patch notes have been released just yet, but you can check out details regarding the third-person fighting game below.
Everybody was platform fighting – The core combat of DKO is inspired by the 2D platform fighters everyone grew up playing (and loving). You damage enemies to make them vulnerable, then you knock them out of the arena with a smashing blow. Simple, right?
Into the third dimension! – Wrong. DKO is something brand new: a 3rd-person platform fighter. When you throw out Thor’s hammer Mjolnir, it doesn’t just go off to the right of the screen; you have to aim at your target. If you want to chase down a fleeing Ymir, you’ll need your 3D platforming skills to jump between platforms. It’s somehow both familiar and something you’ve never played before – and it’s very fun.
Years of iteration – The dev team at Red Beard Games has been working on DKO for three-plus years, trying to discover just what a 3rd-person platform fighter really is. They’ve playtested dozens of drastically different versions of DKO as experiments. One was more of a “physics shooter” than a platform fighter, the devs say – not a surprise considering the core team was behind the indie cult classic Sky Noon. But over the years and experiments, they found the secret sauce of DKO.
Execution, not dexterity – Success in DKO comes down to positioning and timing, not memorizing combos or difficult inputs. Each character has light and heavy attacks that can be chained into combos, and a dodge to evade blows or reposition. But characters are truly defined by their three abilities (which go on cooldown after use), and a game-changing ultimate ability – Watch out when King Arthur summons the might of his legendary sword Excalibur!
The Mightiest Gods of Myth – The playable characters put the “Divine” into Divine Knockout. You’ll play as a legendary god of mythology in DKO; do you want to hurl boulders as Hercules or master the katana as Susano? These gods come from all the world’s myths, with the 10 Gods available at launch representing the Japanese, Greek, Roman, Norse, and Arthurian pantheons. Devs say more pantheons and Gods will be added regularly.
Adorable anime styling – The gods of DKO are reinterpreted in a charming chibi art style, inspired by the chibi god skins in the hit action MOBA Smite. Red Beard Games’ amazing art team took this inspiration to an all-new level with the full power of Unreal Engine 4, adding anime-style cel shading and reworking proportions so that combat remains readable. Somehow, even the Greek God of Death, Thanatos, looks downright huggable in this stunning game.
Play your way – Though DKO is launching with 10 Gods, it’s launching with hundreds of ways to play each god. A deep system of Talents lets you define your own playstyle for each God. As Athena, for example, you can be a long-ranged spear thrower, a teamwork-focused shieldbearer, or an agile martial expert – all on the same god, just by equipping new Talents. Red Beard Games assures us the system is not pay-to-win; all players always start with a full loadout of Talents, and additional playtime unlocks additional options – not additional power.

Divine Knockout launches this December 6 on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
A new trailer for Lost Soul Aside just premiered on PlayStation’s YouTube channel. This comes just two weeks after an announcement that Sony Interactive Entertainment would publish the Chinese-developed title as well as a shooter known as Convallaria. Here’s the official Lost Soul Aside announcement trailer:
Check out the new fast-action game Lost Soul Aside trailer from the PlayStation China Hero Project Launch Event.
#ps5games #ps4 #ps5 #ps4games
Lost Soul Aside has been in development for quite a while, and the recent publisher announcement during PlayStation’s latest China Hero Project means that the game is inching toward its eventual release. While it’s a bit over a year old, there’s also some gameplay footage of Lost Soul Aside, which you can check out here:
Do note that the game is still under development, with no release date in sight, so the game may very well look different on release.
Though there hasn’t been an announcement on which platforms the game will release on, we do know that it will be available on the PS4 and PS5, as mentioned in the announcement trailer’s title and description.
We’ll be sure to cover more Lost Soul Aside news in the future, but until then, keep your eyes peeled.
Capcom has confirmed to Gematsu that Monster Hunter Rise for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, and Xbox One will be digital-only. No physical editions planned. https://t.co/y9ToPz47hK
The lack of a physical edition for MH Rise means that players won’t be able to share their own copies of the game with friends. This also means that you can only get the game via the consoles’ respective online stores.
You can pick up your digital copy of Monster Hunter Rise on January 20 next year on the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS4, and PS5. The game will also be available on the Game Pass, so you can pick it up if you’re subscribed to the pass on Xbox or PC.
As mentioned earlier, the massive Sunbreak expansion won’t be arriving alongside the base game until sometime in Spring 2023.
Those looking to see Star Wars Jedi: Survivors gameplay, you won’t have to wait long, as it’ll be shown off during this year’s The Game Awards show! The reveal will give viewers a first look at the upcoming Star Wars title.
This tidbit was confirmed today, alongside a new concept art reveal:
Here’s a brief synopsis of the game:
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor picks up five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Cal Kestis has remained one step ahead of the Empire’s constant pursuit as he begins to feel the weight of being one of the last remaining Jedi in the galaxy. Accompanied by his trusty companion BD-1, Cal will meet and ally himself with unique and interesting characters on his journey. In order to survive, Cal must evolve as a Jedi, learning new skills and growing his connection with the Force.
In case you missed the big news that surfaced today, Jedi: Survivors is reportedly set for a March 15 release date next year, so fans may only have to wait a few months before they can get their hands on the game.
Remember to tune in to The Game Awards 2022 this December 8 for the first look at Jedi: Survivor’s gameplay and much more
Project L, Riot’s upcoming fighting game, just got a new developer update video. Riot Games posted the six-minute video detailing Project L’s core mechanics and gameplay.
The video goes over quite a few things, such as an update on Illaoi. Illaoi was first announced to be part of Project L in a dev article last August, and while we only had some concept art back then, we’re finally getting some gameplay footage of the tentacle-wielding priestess.
We also get an explanation of core gameplay mechanics from Shaun Rivera, game director and gameplay design lead for Project L. He mentions that they want to give players fluid movement, so players can dash, jump, dash chain, and more with their characters.
The tag system is also explored briefly, showing how you can get out of a combo using Dynamic Save, or how you can chain combos with two characters using Handshake Tag.
Project L is still under development, so this is probably the last we’ll hear from Riot on the game this 2022, but the devs plan on sharing more next year.
A statement from a Microsoft spokesperson confirms that starting in 2023, first-party Xbox games will release for $70 at launch. For reference, Xbox first party games are currently launching at $60 on release. This price change includes games already announced such as Starfield and Redfall. Here’s the official statement as relayed to IGN:
“This price reflects the content, scale, and technical complexity of these titles. As with all games developed by our teams at Xbox, they will also be available with Game Pass the same day they launch.”
As mentioned in the quote, the games will still launch on Day 1 via the Game Pass, so those subscribed to the pass shouldn’t really have to worry too much, at least for now. For those who prefer owning games instead of subscribing, however, this means that they’ll have to shell out an extra 10 bucks, much to the dismay of many Xbox owners.
At the very least, the Game Pass remains untouched, so this change should incentivize Xbox owners to pick the pass up. In the meantime, check out this interesting buy-one-get-one sale on the Xbox Store for select Ubisoft games that’s running till December 15.
New gameplay footage for the upcoming Dead Space remake was just released. The video includes gameplay of your first 18 minutes in the third-person survival horror game.
Take a look at IGN’s Dead Space remake gameplay video:
December’s IGN First is Dead Space, the EA Motive remake of the original 2008 horror classic.
Check out the first 18 minutes of Dead Space running in 4K 60 on PC, and stick with IGN all month to find out more about the Dead Space remake.
The trailer includes the opening crashlanding cutscene as the search and rescue crew enters the USG Ishimura, now improved with modern gaming technology. It’s worth noting that the dialogue during the opening scene is different from the original game, with the protagonist Isaac being more active in the conversation. Still, the remake retains many of the original game’s details, including the iconic “CUT OFF THEIR LIMBS” warning you find scribbled in blood.
We’ve already seen some gameplay footage of the Dead Space remake, and this new video also highlight’s the game’s massive graphical improvements. Of course, it’s about what you’d expect for a game that originally came out last 2008, but the differences in the scenery and environment are staggering.
The Dead Space remake is slated for a January 27 release next year on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
