World of Warcraft's highly anticipated housing system is slated for a 2025 release, with initial details unveiled by Blizzard. The developers assure players that homes will be accessible to everyone, regardless of subscription status, and without complicated 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 designated zones: an Alliance zone (Elwynn Forest, incorporating elements from 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 between open-area plots or establish private communities with friends and guild members. Extensive customization options will be provided, with the majority available in-game, and some offered through 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.
