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, eliminating complex acquisition processes like high 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 in a zone blending Elwynn Forest with elements from Westfall and Duskwood; Horde players in a zone combining Durotar with aspects of Azshara and the Durotar coastline.
Each region will be subdivided into districts, each accommodating roughly 50 houses. Players can opt for individual plots or establish private communities with friends and guild members. A vast array of customization options is promised, with most items obtainable in-game, and some available through the in-game shop.
Blizzard highlights three core principles guiding the housing system: extensive customization, robust social interaction, and enduring longevity. Further details are promised in the future, and player feedback is actively encouraged.
