Not only did Gravity Falls' epic trailer for the upcoming episodes totally rock this year's SDCC in my eyes, but they also announced at the same GF panels we would be getting our first Gravity Falls video game!
Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets!
And what's more, it appears to be a sidescroller Action-RPG in the same vein as that Adventure Time game I really liked (think Zelda 2).
Here's the official trailer:
And a few screenshots:
Exactly the way I imagined it! I'm sure a lot of fans would have prefered a huge open-world 3D-type of game on the main consoles, but without a big enough budget I don't think they could pull off a decent tie-in game adaptation. And this looks pretty good and fun if you ask me.
The official announcement:
ENTER THE WORLD OF GRAVITY FALLSThe game's coming on 3DS later this year, on November 3!
