The first update of 2020 for Blizzard's Diablo 4, as well as a short demo from BlizzCon, showcases what to look forward to in the next months to come until its release.
What is the release all about?
The release focuses on how Blizard has revamped the UI since Diablo 3. The feature that stood out is for co-op play with a friend in both controllers, which they are promoting as a couch co-op.
Diablo 4 supports controller usage on a PC, which means Blizzard needs a UI that could quickly change when you're switching controller to mouse and keyboard.
Why is this news any good?
Besides, the fact that you are now able to play seamlessly with your buddy on LAN is something out of a dream when it comes to Diablo fans worldwide. As fans generally usually play online together with their online buddies, it's more of being able to play with your fam and friends at home as much as your online community.

What are the Best Features in the Announcement?
Blizzard announced that a lot of players were clamoring for the feature that makes you bind your keys now and has more flexibility over your character overall. Diablo 4 is the best time for Blizzard to give the fans what they're asking for since the inception of the game, which is good news after all the bad press Blizzard has had in recent times.
Blizzard's Goals
The goal of Blizzard is to add controller support is to ensure that it didn't take away from the experience of having a mouse and keyboard as well. It won't take away any experience or make it difficult for controller players to use the traditional pc menu, which is a very good thing. Diablo 4 is the first game in the franchise that focuses more on controller support, which makes sense because of the number of controller players who played Diablo 3.
Changes from Diablo Games and Diablo 4
The previous installments of the game before Diablo 4, it was impossible to bind your keys to your preference, which was always an issue but never big enough to make any change right away. Then Diablo 4 happened, which was a godsend when to fans who play the game. Besides the improved graphics, Diablo 4 has now it still feels like the original Diablo experience.
Blizzard seems to be making all the right moves now after their blunder with the announcement of their mobile version of Diablo, which was Diablo Immortal. It is a step in the right direction that will make fans more hyped up than they already are since Diablo 4 has been teased for a long time now but has no release date as of yet. Still, the community is looking forward to the release.
