Disney Dreamlight Valley’s annual expansion is quickly approaching, and it’s looking like it could be the biggest one yet. Like all other optional add-ons, The Keepsake Sea includes a lot of fresh content to explore.

Since you have to pay extra to purchase this DLC, you may be wondering what it includes so you can determine whether or not the price is worth it for you. There’s a lot to uncover, so here is a complete breakdown of all new features included in The Keepsake Sea expansion for Disney Dreamlight Valley.

The Keepsake Sea expansion comes with five characters you can befriend, plus one special villager who’s a bit different from the rest, making for a total of six if you count her. All of the characters included in this pack are as follows.

• Captain Hook from Peter Pan
• Megara from Hercules
• Wendy from Peter Pan
• Milo Thatch from Atlantis: The Lost Empire
• Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean

Dory from Finding Nemo is also part of this pack, but she exists as a new type of villager that’s a cross between a standard character and a Notable Companion like Zero or Pluto. And if you buy the deluxe version of this DLC, you also get Sebastian and Flounder from The Little Mermaid as new allies.

There are three new biomes to explore in this pack, all of which include both land and underwater areas. These regions are Shipwreck Shores, Candy Cove, and a mysterious Kingdom area.

All biomes come with a new type of critter you can find and befriend there. As of the time of writing, we’ve only gotten a look at one of the types you can meet, which are Toucans. We can expect to see at least two more, so once we know what they are, we’ll add them here.

There are quite a few massive gameplay mechanics featured in The Keepsake Sea. Most of them revolve around underwater exploration and traveling around the ocean. Here’s a breakdown of all key gameplay features included in this one.

• Mermaid form – Players can transform into a fully customizable mermaid with this DLC. While in this form, you can explore new underwater areas, find items around the ocean, dive into fishing spots to bypass the fishing minigame and catch what’s inside right away, and more.
• Pirate Ship – Another way to get around in this pack is your very own customizable Pirate Ship. You can hop onboard and steer it around, choose from all valley villagers to assemble your perfect crew, customize the mast and interior, and use the ship to salvage resources.
• Underwater building – The new underwater areas you can access can also be customized using furniture just like regular land areas. This allows for underwater building as a fresh mechanic.

There’s plenty more to explore in The Keepsake Sea outside of the key features listed above. Some other smaller details you’ll want to keep in mind are as follows.

• New quests
• New ingredients
• New flowers
• New clothing
• New furniture
• New landscaping items

While you wait for The Keepsake Sea to arrive, you can prepare by unlocking some items sure to match well with it through the Seafaring Star Path event. There are plenty of tricky tasks to get done throughout it, like crafting a Helm Bookshelf for your nautical charts, giving a boy who never grows up his favorite gift, and feeding Sea Turtles their favorite food.
