New Content and Features

• A new Realm door opens! Clock into The Laugh Floor and experience a day in the life of this iconic Monsters, Inc. locale!

• Two new characters! It wouldn’t be The Laugh Floor without Mike Wazowski and Sulley! Undertake brand new Friendship Quests and earn monstrous new items as you welcome these two to the Valley.

• Check your in-game mailboxes for a surprise! As of The Laugh Floor Update, all players – whether they’ve been around since day one or join in the future – will receive two much-anticipated items: The Partners statue for your Valley and the ornate Dreamlight Armor outfit.

• Get ready to live monstrously with a whole range of new ways to customize your avatar, from new skin tones, to special contacts for your eyes, to new styles of ears to choose from.

• Plan your perfect cozy evening in with the Belle Starlight Bundle premium bundle which offers up a wide range of customization items, including a Dream Style for Belle, a House Style fit for her sensibilities, clothing items (pajamas!), and furniture (a starlight projector!).

• A new Star Path begins, offering up exciting new rewards that are equal parts sweet and monstrous – it’s the Lovely Monsters Star Path!

• We’ve expanded Scrooge McDuck’s Shop! We know many of you check nearly every day in hopes of seeing that elusive furniture piece that’ll tie your Collection together, so with this change, the shop will offer more options to choose from every day!

• That’s not all that’s changed at Scrooge’s Shop… Back by popular demand, doors are now available for purchase once more!

• We’ve heard your requests and are happy to share that the ability to change the name of your avatar can now be found in the game Settings.

• More optional items are coming to the Premium Shop for a limited time, as well as some returning favorites from past Star Paths!
