World of Warcraft's highly anticipated housing system is slated for a 2025 release, with Blizzard unveiling initial details. The developers assure players that homes will be accessible to everyone, regardless of subscription status, and without complicated acquisition processes like lotteries or exorbitant costs. This feature is set to debut with the Midnight expansion.
Initially, players can 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 reside in open areas or establish private communities with friends and guild members. Extensive customization options are promised, with most decorations obtainable in-game, while some will be available via 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 are promised in the future, and player feedback is actively encouraged.
