WoW Player Housing Will Launch With Patch 11.2.7, But Not In Full

The article discusses the upcoming release of player housing in World of Warcraft's (WoW) Midnight expansion. While the full housing system won't be available until Midnight's launch in early 2026, a significant portion of the feature will be released with patch 11.2.7, which is expected to arrive towards the end of this year. Players who preorder Midnight will have early access to the housing system, allowing them to acquire a home, collect decorative items, and start decorating. However, the full neighborhood system, including challenges and events, will not be available until Midnight's launch. Blizzard's decision to release part of the housing system early is driven by the community's excitement for the feature and the desire to give players a chance to collect decorations before the expansion's launch, when they may be focused on the new story and content. The article also mentions that players who don't preorder can still start collecting housing decor items with patch 11.2.7 for use when they eventually unlock their home. Additionally, the Midnight expansion will bring other changes to WoW, such as the revamping of Quel'thelas and updates to the transmog system.
