Disney Dreamlight Valley announces launch date of A Hero's Journey featuring Hercules

Pocket Gamer RSS Feed3 min read(3 months ago)

Overview & Key Takeaways

Alongside hits like Atlantis and Treasure Planet, Disney's Hercules sits neatly in the 'underrated' pile of animated classics. Yes, believe it or not, this was once considered one of the less successful films. But if Disney Dreamlight Valley's upcoming A Hero's Journey update is any indication, Herc is finally getting his flowers. Originally teased a few weeks ago, A Hero's Journey is now officially set to release on June 3rd and will feature not just Hercules himself but also his mentor, the satyr Phil (no word on whether they got Danny Devito to reprise his role). ...

  • Disney Dreamlight Valley has announced the date for A Hero's Journey
  • Arriving next month, it introduces none other than Hercules
  • Explore the training island and pass the tests to prove yourself a true hero

Alongside hits like Atlantis and Treasure Planet, Disney's Hercules sits neatly in the 'underrated' pile of animated classics. Yes, believe it or not, this was once considered one of the less successful films. But if Disney Dreamlight Valley's upcoming A Hero's Journey update is any indication, Herc is finally getting his flowers.

Originally teased a few weeks ago, A Hero's Journey is now officially set to release on June 3rd and will feature not just Hercules himself but also his mentor, the satyr Phil (no word on whether they got Danny Devito to reprise his role).

The update will see Phil leading you to a shadow-shrouded training island, where you'll need to pass the many tests necessary to prove yourself a true hero. And of course, along the way, you'll get to meet up with Herc and help him out with pushing back the evil forces threatening the island.

What is this, a mosaic?

Right now, details are a little bit scarce on what exactly will be included in this update. But DDV's social media is set to slowly unveil new content, such as the latest Star Path and other goodies launching as part of A Hero's Journey.

For my money, it's probably one of the most distinct and interesting updates that Disney Dreamlight Valley has had yet. I was never a big Disney kid, but having watched Hercules in my adult years, it's one that definitely holds up with a good mix of action, comedy and heartwarming moments. So hopefully this reintroduces it to younger fans, too.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is one of those great releases only available on Apple Arcade. But how do you stay ahead of these kinds of new launches? Well, by checking in on our list of the best mobile games in soft launch, of course! Where you can check out the best upcoming releases before they're even fully available.

Game of Thrones: Dragonfire ties into season three finale with limited-time event

After the disastrous reception of the Game of Thrones finale way back in 2019, it seemed as if the franchise was done on television. But after the dramatic success of both A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon, it's no surprise Game of Thrones: Dragonfire has been tying back into these newfound high points! And if you've been following House of the Dragon, you can now enjoy a limited-time event, available until August 24th, set to tie into the season three finale of the show. This event will see all the previously limited dragons return to the Hatchery, each modelled on their appearance in the show. ...

Lil' Guardsman is a Papers Please-style deduction adventure with you as an unlikely town guard📱 Mobile

Lil' Guardsman is a Papers Please-style deduction adventure with you as an unlikely town guard

While Papers, Please invoked a really grim and dystopian style of gaming, for better or for worse, many other developers have taken a slightly lighter view on the subject. Case in point: the upcoming deductive sim Lil' Guardsman, which is set to release on iOS and Android this winter, puts you in the shoes of the bane of all adventurers. In Lil' Guardsman, you play as the twelve-year-old Lil, tasked with covering your father's shift as, unsurprisingly, a guardsman at the gate of a city called the Sprawl. You'll need to interrogate various visitors, ranging from wizards to cyclopes, and decide whether to let them in, jail them or deal with them in some other way. ...

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls set to close service in autumn📱 Mobile

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls set to close service in autumn

Well, it's about that time again. Yes, sadly we have to report that another fan-favourite mobile game is set to shut its doors. This time, the victim is none other than Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. And unfortunately, you don't have long to jump in and have a go, because end-of-service is set for September 3rd. A side-scrolling platformer in the vein of the classic Castlevania games, especially Symphony of the Night, Grimoire of Souls already has an interesting history. Slated to shutter back in 2020, Grimoire of Souls would instead make its way exclusively to Apple Arcade without any monetisation elements. ...
