Disney's Dreamlight Valley makes some helpful changes for players with a controller

Disney's Dreamlight Valley's latest update brings some helpful changes to those who play Gameloft's popular life simulator with a controller.

But Hakuna Matata some players were shocked to see a request for a “Favorite Things of the Day” gift from the warthog half of the famous duo, as it suggests possible cannibalism. Giving gifts is one of the fastest ways to make friends Disney's Dreamlight Valleyand players can check off a list of three items each character wants most, which changes daily.

Some players have pointed out that warthogs are classified as omnivores and are known to feed on animal corpses. In reality, however, pigs are not hunters and feed on scavengers only in times of drought or famine, preferring a diet consisting mainly of plants, many of which they pull from the ground with their tusks. They are also known for eating slimy but hearty insects and worms, just like the beloved Disney characters in the movies, and the desire to cook and eat their fellow pigs is certainly not uncommon for them.


While the implications of a cartoonish warthog asking players to cook his relatives a meal for him is clearly not what the game developers intended, the gruesome nature of the request does fit the theme of the season. Some fans were disappointed when the Jungle Getaway update didn't include any content related to the upcoming Halloween holiday. The Valley usually hosts Halloween-related holidays in October, and while they weren't part of Jungle Getaway, Halloween will be back in Disney's Dreamlight Valley in 2024 with the third annual Trick or Treat event starting on October 23rd.
