We can tell you are all excited to see more info coming from the team and about how the game is coming together. The Diablo IV development team has been hard at work since BlizzCon and we are all still incredibly energized by the response to our announcement and follow-up blog posts.

Hello, and welcome to the new blog section of the Diablo IV website!

Monster Family & Design Highlight: Cannibal TribesĬandace Thomas, Senior Encounter Designer The blog introduces the Cannibal family, sharing some lore, concept artwork, the weapons they use, and their combat techniques.

Each archetype corresponds to a different role in combat - for example, bruisers are monsters with high HP values.

They've created monster families and archetypes to organize their sophisticated range of monsters.

Blizzard is revamping the aesthetics of monsters in Diablo IV, going for a grittier style.

Blizzard shared an early look at the couch co-op UI.

The left-corner action bar has been moved to the bottom center by default on PCs, but will shift to the left if you play zoomed out.

All skill slots can now have their keys rebound, including the primary skill.

The inventory UI has also received a revamp - the team hopes to balance a gritty UI with ease of use.

Item icons are getting a revamp - they will be less painterly with darker backgrounds.
