World of Warcraft's highly anticipated housing system is slated for a 2025 release, with Blizzard recently unveiling initial details. The developers assure players that homes will be accessible to everyone, regardless of subscription status, and will not involve complicated acquisition processes, exorbitant costs, or lotteries. This feature is set to debut with the Midnight expansion.
Initially, players can select a plot in one of two regions: Alliance players will find options in Elwynn Forest, incorporating elements from Westfall and Duskwood, while Horde players can choose from Durotar, featuring aspects of Azshara and the Durotar coastline.
Each zone will be segmented into districts, each accommodating approximately 50 homes. Players can opt for open-area plots or establish private communities with friends and guild members. Extensive customization options are promised, with most decorations obtainable in-game, and others available via the in-game shop.
Blizzard highlights three core principles guiding the housing system's design: extensive personalization, social interaction, and enduring appeal. Further details are promised in the future, and player feedback is actively encouraged.
