Welcome to the Crossover Saga! This saga will be different than the previous saga. Now this is a sequel to both Gravity Falls 5 and The Owl House 5. It just takes place a year after the end of those arcs. There are also several changes which I will get to.
Synopsis: About a year later after Weirdmageddon and a battle with Emperor Belos, both the human realm and the demon realm have now merged. Dipper and Mabel meet new allies like Luz. They gather everyone to see what's going on. How did this happen? Their new mission is to fight new enemies, recruit old friends and new friends, and adapt to a new life, now all of their fighting skills are completely different all thanks to magic and stuff. Explore their brand-new adventure in the Crossover Saga.
- Exclusive on PlayStation platforms are the Kingdom Hearts content. Join with Sora, Riku, Mickey Mouse, and all of Sora's other friends so they can help you fight new enemies and explore new journeys with them.
Gameplay: Gravity Falls X Owl House is a 3D action-adventure hack-and-slash game played from a third-person view. The playable characters are Dipper, Mabel, Luz, Amity, Pacifica, King, Wendy, Willow, Grenda, Gus, Stan, Eda, Ford, and Lilith. The gameplay mechanics are now completely different. In the Microsoft era of both series, the games were grounded in Sudo realism with combat and action, you walk like normal, you click the left stick to run, and you have a normal jump, and there was nothing more to it than that. Now starting from this game, physics and features are similar to the Kingdom Hearts games, allowing the player to jump really high, run without running out of stamina by just tilting the analog stick, having hack-and-slash elements, and using magic to fly around. This gives the players power fantasies that this is indeed a video game, it may not mean any some sort of logic. The game also has the ability to give characters costumes. And there are so many costumes to choose from. And there are different types of weapons to choose from. Each weapon has its own unique ability. It's a game that embraces the fantasy world of Disney and give any player to use them. This is something that Microsoft denied players. It even has its own mini games. The game features real-time combat that incorporates physical attacks, magic, and summonings. The players can still check their inventory and their map. The game still as humor as well as a local 4P co-op. A new optional feature is online co-op.
- Exclusive on PlayStation platforms are the Kingdom Hearts weapons and costumes. For example, you can have Dipper and Mabel dressed as Micky and Goofy, and have Luz dressed as Sora with a keyblade.
Changes:
- Luz starting from this game now speaks both English and Spanish.
- The Gravity Falls art style is now the same art style as it was in the actual show.
- The gameplay is now similar to the Kingdom Hearts gameplay.
