Wishblossom Ranch has all kinds of unique ingredients you can find, which means there are also plenty of special recipes to cook in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One of the many dishes you might want to cook up while exploring the ranch is Button Stew. It's always tough to figure out the right ingredients for a new recipe, as there are so many unique ingredients to choose from and no way to know the right ones until you simply try to cook. If cooking this dish has you stumped, here's how to make Button Stew in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Table of contentsButton Stew recipe in Disney Dreamlight ValleyHow to get Button Mushrooms in Disney Dreamlight ValleyHow to get Carrots in Disney Dreamlight ValleyButton Stew recipe in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid The recipe for Button Stew is one Button Mushroom and one Carrot. Unfortunately, as of Nov. 11, 2025, this recipe is bugged and cannot be cooked as intended. All Wishblossom Ranch recipes involving Button Mushrooms are bugged, so although the ingredients are correct, the dish you get from cooking them won't be what you want. Although this recipe cannot be cooked at the time of writing, it will likely be fixed in a future update. Issues like this one tend to be patched in major updates, and since the next one is slated for Dec. 10, 2025, we can likely expect a fix to come with the update, if not sooner. Button Stew is a highly beloved dish among horses, especially Khan, whom you unlock during the Crystal Caverns: Glamour Gulch quest. It's tough to build your bond with him without it, as you likely won't be able to give him all three of his favorite daily items. As soon as this dish can be properly cooked, we'll provide an update here. For now, though, all you can do is stock up on the ingredients for it and wait for the devs to release a fix. How to get Button Mushrooms in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid Button Mushrooms are the main ingredient in this dish, and they can be found growing all around the wild in Glamour Gulch. This includes the Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau areas. This item appears as a small, circular, bright yellow clump of mushrooms. The tops are dotted with plus signs of different colors, including purple, blue, red, and more colors. They stand out quite well againt the dark red and ****** color pallete in Glamour Gulch, making them easy to find once you know where to look. As you hunt around for this item, be sure to check inside all caves in Glamour Gulch. There are quite a few, and I've found many Button Mushrooms hidden away in them, so it's always worth checking to ensure you don't miss any. How to get Carrots in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid Carrots are a crop you must purchse, plant, water, grow, and harvest yourself. You can buy seeds from Goofy's Stall in the Peaceful Meadow biome. They cost 10 Star Coins to buy, and roughly 15 minutes to grow. The growth time is cut down to about 13 minutes if you plant them in the Peaceful Meadow region. If you're looking for another dish horses enjoy, you might try cooking Beet Sugar Sculpture. And once you're done cooking, there's plenty more to tackle around Wishblossom Ranch, like feeding Sweet Bees, getting Old Braided Rope, completing The Skunk Rebellion, and acquiring all horse mount customization options.

Ubisoft's highly-anticipated Assassin's Creed: ****** Flag remake will launch in just a few months' time, a fresh report has claimed. This morning, Ubisoft revealed its latest financial results and laid out a slate of upcoming games set to arrive before the end of its current financial year, on March 31, 2026. One title due for launch remained "unannounced" in Ubisoft's official presentation, but a new Insider Gaming report has now stated that this not-so-mysterious project is the new version of ****** Flag, which is scheduled to arrive during the week of March 23, 2026. Despite years of internal leaks, fan speculation and even hints from the game's lead actor, Ubisoft is still to officially confirm its ****** Flag remake exists. But players have been tracking its progress for a while now, and think they have a pretty good idea of how it will play. Alongside visual and gameplay upgrades to bring the game closer to Assassin's Creed Shadows' level of fidelity and more RPG-like focus, a recent report detailed plans for the game to feature all-new content and missions for its pirate hero Edward Kenway. At the same time, however, ****** Flag's modern day gameplay sections have apparently been excised — something that many fans aren't happy about. It's believed that work on this new ****** Flag remake has been spearheaded by Ubisoft Singapore, which previously launched the long-delayed Skull and Bones — a game that began life as an offshoot of ****** Flag's maritime gameplay. Ubisoft is going all-in on Assassin's Creed, its biggest franchise, with this year's Assassin's Creed Shadows followed by a recent Saudi Arabia-funded free update to 2023's Assassin's Creed Mirage. Alongside its ****** Flag remake, next year is expected to bring a second major Shadows expansion. Beyond that, Ubisoft has already announced that a multiplayer Assassin's Creed game and its next big blockbuster, the witchcraft-themed Assassin's Creed Hexe, are also in the works. This morning, Ubisoft said its latest positive financial results had been driven in part by a "strong performance" for its Assassin's Creed franchise. But while the company noted that Mirage had now passed 10 million sales, there was no new figure provided for how well this year's Shadows has sold. Tom Phillips is IGN's News Editor.

Ubisoft has celebrated a fresh set of financial results that it says has been driven by a "strong performance" for its Assassin's Creed franchise. But while there's an update on sales figures for 2023's Mirage, there's no new figure for how this year's Shadows has sold. The French publisher's latest earnings report, published this morning, covers the company's performance over the first half of the current year: April through September. Last week, Ubisoft delayed the publication of these results at the last minute, prompting speculation that something had gone wrong with the company's big Tencent deal — though there's no suggestion of that today. Ubisoft has framed the results in a positive light, with net bookings for the past quarter "above expectations" and up 39% year-on-year. "The outperformance was driven by stronger-than-expected partnerships," Ubisoft noted, "and was supported by a robust back-catalog, both highlighting the strength of the Group's brands." One back catalogue game seemingly doing very well is Assassin's Creed Mirage, the series' return to a smaller, city-based adventure that launched a couple of years ago. Today, Ubisoft announced a new 10 million sales milestone for the title, and said its recent Saudi Arabia-funded free update had received "very positive" feedback from fans. But on the sales performance of Assassin's Creed Shadows, the franchise's blockbuster feudal Japan entry launched in March, Ubisoft was less clear. Without providing a new sales total, Ubisoft simply said the game had "benefited" from the launch of its New Game+ mode and recent Claws of Awaji expansion, which seems obvious. The company then pointed to the game's upcoming Switch 2 launch as an oppurtunity for it to "reach a broader audience." Back in July, Ubisoft said Shadows had surpassed 5 million players, and that its performance had been in line with expectations. Outside of Assassin's Creed, Ubisoft noted that Rainbow Six Siege's cheating issues were continuing to temporarily impact "activity and player spending versus expectations," following the game's previous move to an essentially free-to-play model. Ubisoft still expects to finalize its $1.16 billion deal with ******** conglomerate Tencent in the near future, company boss Yves Guillemot said, noting that "all conditions precedent have been satisfied." The transaction will secure funding for Vantage Studios, Ubisoft's new self-contained subsidiary in charge of its biggest brands, including Assassin's Creed. Guillemot revealed that more of these companies, termed Creative Houses, will be detailed in January — a point at which the Tencent deal should presumably be sorted. After this, the future shape of the company should become clear, following years of internal turmoil. "These Creative Houses will be autonomous, efficient, focused and accountable business units, each with its own leadership, creative vision and strategic roadmap," Guillemot concluded. "This Group-wide transformation reflects our ambition to renew how we create and operate in order to deliver great games for our players and lasting value for our partners and shareholders."
