Ubisoft and Disney team up for Gravity Falls game on 3DS

Uses the UbiArt engine from Rayman and Valiant Hearts.

Ubisoft and Disney Interactive are collaborating on a 3DS game based on the animated TV series Gravity Falls.

Entitled Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets, this platforming adventure adaptation uses the UbiArt engine used in such titles as Rayman Legends, Child of Light and Valiant Hearts: The Great War. Much like Ubisoft's RPG South Park: The Stick of Truth, this Gravity Falls game looks rather faithful to its source material.

Legend of the Gnome Gemulets will star the show's protagonists, twins Dipper and Mabel, as they investigate mysteries in the remote wilderness of Gravity Falls, Oregon. Show creator Alex Hirsch is heavily involved in the game's development where he designed the key art.

Players will be able to switch between the Pines twins at will as they work together to rescue the gnome kingdom from some mysterious supernatural force. Dipper can fight at close range with his Gnome Battle Cuffs and search for clues with a flashlight, while Mabel comes equipped with a grappling hook and can launch ranged attacks with her Fleece of Bedazzlement-enhanced sweater sleeves.

Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets is due this autumn. Here's its debut trailer:
