The Mysteries of Skull Rock update in Disney Dreamlight Valley finally unlocks the secrets of one of the game’s most talked-about landmarks.
Ever since players first stepped foot on Dazzle Beach, the mysterious Skull Rock has sparked curiosity among residents, who’ve tended to form wacky theories about it.
Now, after years of wondering, the latest DDV showcase confirmed a new update called Mysteries of Skull Rock is on its way. But it won’t just reveal what’s behind the rock, it will also open up a whole new chapter for the Valley, packed with characters, stories, features, and plenty of surprises.
