It has been a long time coming but Media Molecule’sDreamsis finally set to formally release next week. This full release ofDreamscomes nearly a year after the gameentered its Early Access phase in April 2019. Now, Media Molecule has revealed that those who were early adopters of the game will be able to play the finalized version a bit earlier than most.
Announced over on thePlayStation Blogtoday, Media Molecule stated that Early Access users will be able to start playing the finalized version ofDreamsstarting a week from today on Tuesday, February 11. This is three days prior to the game’s actual launch date, which will be that of February 14. Media Molecule stated that it will push out the “Creator Patch” forDreamson the 11th at around 4:00 am PST which will then updateDreamsto its finalized version.
So just what will this launch day edition ofDreamsbring with it? Well, Media Molecule also outlined as much in its blog post. The upcoming version ofDreamswill bring with it new creator kits, a new homespace, and a user interface that has also been updated. It is also said that a staggering 18,000 updates or so have gone into the game’s creator tools since entering early access. Plus, a fair amount of bugs have also now been squashed as well.
Finally, Media Molecule will also be adding Art’s Dream, which is an adventure-style experience following a jazz musician named Art. This storyline will take place through a variety of different “dream-like situations” and will also feature a cast of wild characters. Essentially, this seems to be the “story mode” of sorts that Media Molecule has packed in withDreamsto show players just what they can create in the game.
WhileDreamsis launching relatively late in the lifecycle of the PS4, Media Molecule has already stated that this will bea title that they continue to support well after the launch of the PS5.
