Screenshot by Destructoid The Unwritten Realms update is focused solely on The Storybook Vale DLC, so it's expected to only add content for players who have this expansion. This includes new characters, quests, critters, and much more. Here's a breakdown of everything we know is coming so far. New characters – Maleficent and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty are arriving as villagers. We previously met Maleficent during the final quests for part one of The Storybook Vale, but with the launch of part two, she'll be a complete character, so we can befriend her, obtain unique rewards as we get to know her, hang out with her, and more. Aurora has only been mentioned by name and through small teasers so far, so we'll finally get to meet her with this update. New critters – The Black Pegasus and Teal Dragon will join the roster of companions you can find, befriend, and feed to unlock. It's currently unknown which regions of Everafter and Mythopia they will spawn in. New quests – Lots of fresh quests will be featured in this update. This includes both story quests, which will focus on Maleficent and Hades' relationship as well as the issues plaguing the Lorekeeper and Storybook Vale, and friendship quests. The fresh friendship quests will be those tied to the two new villagers, Maleficent and Aurora. New Snippets – Three new Snippet variants are arriving. This includes a fresh Bird Snippet, Frog Snippet, and Demon Snippet. New puzzles – Fresh Lorekeeper puzzles, which are the stories you can reorder by talking to her, and other mysterious puzzles, like the Trials featured in part one, will be added with this update. There's likely much more included in this update, but so far, these are the only details that have been revealed. While you wait for the update to arrive, there's plenty to get done around the valley, like working through all Summer Sizzle event duties, chatting with a member of the family Madrigal, and working through all Adventures in Neverland Star Path tasks.
