New Roadmap For Updates In 2025
Sadly, the reveal of player housing during theWarcraft 30th Directdidn’t give much detail. In fact, it was little more than a brief teaser video showing a character walking into a small and cozy home withWoW-related decorations on the walls to show off heroic moments in the Champion of Azeroth’s career. The head of the dragon Onyxia, a miniature Goblin shredder mech, and several pieces of armor and weaponry adorn the home, possibly signaling that players will be able to customize and decorate their houses based on achievements.

Screen Rant’s Take: Player Housing Is Big News
Many Have Wanted This, Particularly Since Warlords Of Draenor’s Garrisons
World of Warcrafthas a devoted player base who have made Azeroth their second home, building friendships and creating virtual communities. For many years, players have desired to have a place that they could consider their home base within the game. WhileWoW: Warlords of Draenormade a start with its garrisons, I felt it just wasn’t the same as having a player home, and am excited to see whatMidnightbrings.
Details are still vague, and the game mechanic for player housing is likely still in development. Hopefully, the developers have a desire to hear what community feedback is given following today’s announcement. However the final product is achieved, this concept of player housing inMidnightwill be a massive addition toWorld of Warcraft.
