World of Warcraft's highly anticipated housing system is slated for a 2025 release, with Blizzard offering 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 have access to an area in Elwynn Forest, incorporating elements from Westfall and Duskwood; Horde players can choose a plot in Durotar, featuring aspects of Azshara and the Durotar coastline.
Each zone is divided into districts, each housing 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 items obtainable in-game, while others will be available through the in-game shop.
Blizzard's vision for the housing system centers on three core principles: extensive customization, robust social interaction, and long-term engagement. Further details are promised in the future, and Blizzard encourages community feedback.
