The Player Housing Showcase today had a brief interview and lots of gameplay. You can see lots of gameplay footage on the creator's channels.
- The team that worked on housing started to be build during the Dragonflight era. It took years to get here.
- You will start with a fairly generous decor chest that you can use to decorate without having to go and collect anything.
- All professions will be able to craft some decor.
- There will be exterior Orc, Human, Night Elf, and Blood Elf designs.
- There will be a house finder feature that allows players looking for a public neighborhood to see which ones still have spots available, what the population is, tour them, and more.
- If a guild has more than 50 players, you'll all be able to be in a single neighborhood, but there will be stacked instances. You'll still share progression and neighborhood name.
- As the house owner, you can set access rules. You can let anyone come in, allow just friends, guildmates, or other access options.
- The largest piece of furniture is the Tauren Waterwheel, roughly the size of a building, with a 24 ft diameter.
- The smallest piece of furniture is the Youngling Courser Toy Set, roughly the size of a keyboard.
- You will be able to import houses from others, similar to talent builds. (Source)
Dev Interviews
The Gamescom stream had a short interview with a couple new points. There was also lots of footage that we didn't see elsewhere.
- One of the campaign chapters isn't tied to the new zones, but instead takes you to places in the old world, like Light's Hope Chapel and Stratholme. You'll work alongside Arator and help him navigate his relationship with the light.
- The team will be talking about alpha very soon, with a larger public beta to follow. Release in early 2026.
- The hype thread is very interested in this Ethereal from the older neighborhood blog post being replaced with an NPC that may be an Ethereal with armor. You can see him more clearly here.
