Along with today’s teaser trailer, we also have some new art from Seasons of Heaven. Find the new images below. The team is hoping to achieve the visuals shown in the video on Switch.

In Seasons of Heaven, players will be able to switch between controlling Yann (the boy) and Ani (the French bulldog) at any time. Each character will possess specific skills. Nature is also an important element of the game, and players will be able to explore Heaven (the name of the game area) using a scalable means of transportation.

We heard last week that the young boy Yann and his dog Ani would be playable. You can switch between these two characters at will, which is important since they both have different skills. Also worth noting is that nature will play an important role. Additionally, you’ll be able to explore Heaven (name of the game area) with some form of transportation.
