Dreams Live Support Will End Later This Year

Media Molecule has announced that it is ending live support of Dreams. From this September, no more updates will be provided for the game, and many community events will be concluded.

In a post to the Dreams website, Media Molecule explained that live support will end on September 1, 2023. Along with the end of any updates, the studio is also bringing events such as DreamsCom, All Hallows’ Dreams, and the Impy Awards to a close.

“We’re very proud of Dreams and grateful for the way you, the community, have embraced all it has to offer,” said Media Molecule in the post. “Whilst we’ve always had the desire to build on the foundation of Dreams and expand the experience, when reviewing our plans we were not able to define a sustainable path. We made the decision to change the studio product strategy. This is obviously disappointing to many people inside and outside of Mm, however we are incredibly excited for what will come next.”

The studio made it clear that Dreams will still be available after September 1, and players will continue to be able to play, create, and share with others. The game will also remain available to purchase.

“Although this is challenging news we do have a few more updates on the way, including the much anticipated Tren, and a significant improvement to animation and our last Create mode update,” the developer promised.

While active development on Dreams will finish, it does seem as if Media Molecule intends to support Dreams in other ways in the future. The post promises that “We will continue to share and celebrate creations in Dreams with the wider world on our social channels, our streams, Impsider roundups and more.” In-game curation will continue, ensuring that the most interesting creations are promoted to the community.

This change comes as Media Molecule works to “shift our focus to an exciting new project.” What that new project is has yet to be detailed; “we’re not ready to talk about at this stage, but stay tuned for more information in the future.” The studio has confirmed that the project is not Dreams 2, nor part of the Dreams IP.

Before the end of live support, Media Molecule will be migrating its servers in late May in order to “preserve the security and stability of Dreams.”

Since its launch in 2020, Dreams has been home to a huge variety of weird and wonderful creations, from an incredible Avatar: The Last Airbender game, to an amazing recreation of PlayStation Home, to an absurdly realistic train station. Despite its live support coming to an end, it will no doubt remain a home for its fantastically creative community for a long time to come.
