However, there is a catch to access Floating Islands, new spaces that hover above the existing Valley Biomes. To access them, players must complete the main quest “What’s Left Behind”. This will ensure Merlin’s new quest “Islands in the Sky” will be available right on release day.

There will be a total of four Floating Islands to discover following the Sew Delightful update. The first, themed to look like the Plaza, will be the center of Merlin’s quests.

The islands can be reached via fast travel once accessed and can be decorated however players like. The space also appears to be fairly large, giving those overrun by decoration the ability to better space things out.

Players will want to make sure they wrap the main quest line before December 4, so they can jump right in and start exploring the new Disney Dreamlight Valley additions as quickly as possible.
