World of Warcraft's highly anticipated housing system is slated for a 2025 release, with Blizzard offering a sneak peek at its features. The developers assure players that homes will be accessible to everyone, regardless of in-game achievements or financial status, and that subscription status won't affect ownership. This exciting addition will be fully integrated with the upcoming Midnight expansion.
Initially, players will select a plot in one of two distinct zones: an Alliance zone (Elwynn Forest, incorporating elements of Westfall and Duskwood) or a Horde zone (Durotar, featuring aspects of Azshara and the Durotar coastline).
Each zone is subdivided into districts, each accommodating approximately 50 homes. Players can choose to establish their residence in a public area or create a private community with friends and guild members. Extensive customization options are promised, with most decorations obtainable in-game, while some will be offered through the in-game shop.
Blizzard highlights three core principles guiding the housing system's design: extensive customization, robust social interaction, and enduring longevity. Further details regarding the housing system are promised in the future, and player feedback is actively encouraged.
