In 2025, World of Warcraft players have a thrilling new feature to look forward to: a housing system. Blizzard has unveiled the first details, promising that homes will be accessible to all players without the hassle of complex requirements, exorbitant prices, or lotteries. Furthermore, your home won't be at risk of being taken away, even if your subscription lapses. This exciting addition will be fully integrated with the upcoming Midnight expansion.
At the launch, you'll have the opportunity to select your plot in one of two distinct zones tailored to your faction allegiance. Alliance players can choose from the serene landscapes of Elwynn Forest, with charming elements borrowed from Westfall and Duskwood. Meanwhile, Horde enthusiasts will find their home in the rugged terrain of Durotar, complemented by touches from Azshara and the Durotar coastline.
Each zone will be thoughtfully divided into districts, housing around 50 homes per district. Whether you prefer the freedom of an open area or the camaraderie of a private community with friends and guildmates, the choice is yours. Blizzard is committed to providing a plethora of decoration options to customize your space, with most items available in-game and a select few available in the shop.
The foundation of the housing system rests on three core principles: extensive customization, fostering social interaction, and ensuring longevity. Blizzard is eager to share more details in the future and encourages the community to voice their thoughts and ideas on this new feature.
