In an exciting development for 2025, World of Warcraft enthusiasts can look forward to the introduction of a much-anticipated housing system. Blizzard has unveiled initial details, assuring that this feature will be accessible to all players without the need for complex requirements, exorbitant prices, or lotteries. Moreover, once you secure a home, it won't be taken away due to a lapsed subscription. The full rollout of this housing content is scheduled with the launch of the Midnight expansion.
Upon the system's debut, players will have the opportunity to select their plot in one of two distinct zones. For Alliance players, the picturesque Elwynn Forest, enriched with elements from Westfall and Duskwood, awaits. Horde players, on the other hand, can stake their claim in Durotar, featuring elements from Azshara and the Durotar coastline.
Each zone will be segmented into districts, with approximately 50 houses per district. This setup allows players the flexibility to choose between an open area or a more secluded private community, perfect for settling down with friends and guildmates. Blizzard is committed to offering extensive decoration options for home customization. While most items will be obtainable within the game, some unique decor will be available in the shop.
The housing system is designed with three core principles in mind: extensive customization, fostering social interactions, and ensuring long-term engagement. Blizzard has promised to release more information about the housing system in the future and encourages players to share their feedback and ideas in the meantime.
