The Keepsake Sea has been announced as the next expansion for Disney Dreamlight Valley. In its official announcement on September 9, 2026, the team presents an adventure where the player character will become a magical Merfolk before crossing the sea to a distant realm.
The official post published on Steam already confirms the expansion’s direction and several content elements. The October 21 event is a Showcase dedicated to the expansion, not a release date.
A maritime adventure focused on exploration and customization
The Keepsake Sea will add new biomes, underwater areas and fully customizable spaces. The expansion therefore targets two distinct activities: discovering a new region and shaping locations according to personal preferences. The post does not yet specify the underwater movement mechanics, the size of the areas or how they will fit into the current valley.
The transformation into a Merfolk is the most concrete detail about the player’s role. It accompanies the journey to a distant realm, but the announcement remains an initial preview: no progression system, quests or examples of areas have been described yet.
Milo Thatch, Captain Jack Sparrow and Megara named
The announced cast offers three immediate points of reference. Milo Thatch, Captain Jack Sparrow and Megara are among the new friends players will meet. Their quests and arrival conditions are not detailed, but these characters confirm that new encounters will accompany the exploration of the unfamiliar environments.
The Showcase is set for October 21
The next event dedicated to The Keepsake Sea is scheduled for October 21. The presentation is expected to expand on the characters, biomes, features and adventures mentioned in the preview. It will be broadcast on the official YouTube, Twitch, Facebook and TikTok channels.
The announcement only states “October 21”: the year, broadcast time and duration have not been specified. Players therefore have a date to follow for the next information, without yet knowing the concrete conditions for accessing the expansion.
No release date or price yet
The Keepsake Sea has not been given a release date, price, edition or announced platform in this post. Nothing indicates immediate availability or a download to start. For now, the key information is the content presented and the October 21 Showcase.
The Keepsake Sea establishes a clear direction for Disney Dreamlight Valley: a maritime journey, a Merfolk form, underwater spaces and new characters. The release and access details will be revealed in a future presentation.
