Alongside the timing announcement, the developer has also shared some helpful advice to make the update process go as smoothly as possible. Firstly, remember to save your game before installing the new content; it's also worth making a save on the cloud to ensure you don't lose any progress. You're also advised to fully close down the game before installing the update, and when it's complete, it's recommended that you save again immediately after loading up the game.
In a follow-up tweet, the developer also explains what you'll need to do to see Scar's story arc. "To enjoy it, you will need to have the Sunlit Plateau unlocked, & have completed 'The Curse' quest, which involves fixing the pillars of Friendship, Courage, Trust, & Power."
In other Disney Dreamlight Valley news, some of Disney's most iconic characters recently managed to turn this cosy life sim into an altogether more unsettling affair. First, we had Donald Duck's anger issues, then there was Mickey Mouse's stalker-like behaviour, and finally, Goofy's complete disregard for personal space.
