Overview

• Blizzard confirms the player housing feature will ship with the Midnight expansion.
• The studio commits to updating housing in every major patch and in future expansions as a core part of the game.
• Design lead Toby Ragaini says the team delayed the feature to exceed expectations rather than “check off a box.”
• Lead UX designer Laura Sardinha says Blizzard created new technology and rolled it out incrementally so housing feels native to WoW.
• Developers highlight performance and accessibility as key challenges, targeting a smooth experience that scales from simple decorating to deeper customization.
