New Demo Videos Released for World of Warcraft’s Player Housing System

Blizzard recently shared an insightful blog post, featuring a series of in-engine videos that showcase the exciting possibilities of furniture positioning within their upcoming systems. These clips illustrate how players can arrange pieces on a grid, with the convenient option to have items snap into place. What’s particularly intriguing is the ability to decorate larger furniture, like bookshelves or dining tables, with smaller objects that remain attached when the main item is moved. While the focus is solely on interior decoration systems for a single room, it provides a promising glimpse into what’s in store. It’s important to note this is still a work in progress, and any user interface elements could change before the final release.

For those looking to delve deeper into customization, there’s an Advanced mode available. This mode allows for more intricate arrangements, letting players experiment with clipping furniture and rotating items on all three axes. This could really enable some creative personal touches, as players fashion unique scenes by skillfully arranging and manipulating items.

Another exciting aspect is that objects can be resized, accommodating different player models. For example, a gnome might prefer more compact furniture, while a Tauren might opt for something larger. Blizzard also demonstrated an ability to recolor certain furniture models, especially those crafted specifically for player housing. Some older models, however, might not have this option.

While this blog entry concentrated on interior setups, Blizzard clarified that the exterior of a house won’t limit the interior scale. According to them, “If you want a huge mansion outside with just one room inside or a tiny shack outside but a dozen rooms inside, you do you.” They are eager to discuss further details in the future, hinting at more exciting features to come.

Meanwhile, World of Warcraft players are navigating the 11.3 patch, titled Undermine(d), set within the bustling hub of goblin activity. Although Midnight is a few patches away, Blizzard is keeping fans engaged by revealing snippets of what’s coming next. Excitingly, BlizzCon is set to return in 2026, promising more big reveals. As someone keenly exploring the prospects of player housing, I’m especially interested in finding out if we get to choose our living locations—I’m partial to settling in the serene Grizzly Hills for a touch of tranquility.
