Long Live the King
Gameloft has announced that it will be releasingthe first major contentdrop forDisney Dreamlight Valleynext week — Launching on PC and console platforms on October 19, the update will bring with it new story scenarios, a new Star Path, and will see the unwelcome arrival of the master of betrayal, Scar.
Scar, the antagonist of 1994’sThe Lion King, is the dishonorable brother of king Mufasa and the uncle of prince Simba. Wracked with jealousy and anger at his “hanger-on” status in the regal family, Scar surreptitiously befriends the hyenas of the Pridelands, ultimately executing a scheme that costs his brother his life, banishes Simba to the jungle, and sees Scar step in as king, leading to austerity, death, and the breaking of the ecologically vital “Circle of Life”.
And now, he’s gonna be your best pal. Thanks for that.
