There's a lot of excitement surrounding Nintendo's next generation, the Nintendo Switch. Now as the gamers continue to wait for Nintendo to announce the highly anticipated release date of the gaming platform, new reports about the Nintendo Switch's specs flood in as a new gameplay trailer of Seasons of Heaven using the Switch's Unreal Engine 4 is being released.

Yesterday Any Arts Production released the first Seasons of Heaven trailer. The game is being developed for play on the next generation console Nintendo Switch, and is being developed with the use of Unreal Engine 4.

Seasons of Heaven is an exclusive indie game being developed for Nintendo switch, and according to Express, the game is based on a novel with the same name.

The official description of the game reads:

"Seasons of Heaven will take you from deep inside of a mystical forest at the beginning of time all the way through to the twenty-first century and the fall of civilization.It will take you on a journey with Yann, a young boy with Asperger's syndrome and his faithful companion, Ani, a French bulldog who Yann is able to communicate with through telepathy.As you follow along on their journey you'll have the opportunity to meet the rest of the major players and bear witness to the enlightenment of some and the demise of others."

In other Nintendo Switch release date news, Polygon reports that the clock speeds of the Nintendo Switch have been revealed and it looks like the console might work better when kept docked than when disconnected from its dock. While many were expecting high-speed gaming with an undocked Nintendo Switch, sources report that the undocked console's clock speeds are 40 percent lower than when left in its dock. Though the speeds of the CPU and memory controller remain the same whether docked or undocked, it looks like the speed of the Nintendo Switch's GPU drops when not in dock.
