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

Blizzard has just released a blog post packed with fascinating in-engine videos illustrating how players can arrange furniture within the game. These sneak peeks reveal furniture pieces being placed seamlessly on a grid, with the convenient option to snap items into place for that perfect alignment. One of the highlights of this system is how you can decorate larger items, like bookshelves or dining tables, with smaller accessories that automatically adjust when you move the main piece. It’s worth mentioning, though, that this preview focuses solely on interior decoration within a single room. Blizzard has made it clear that this is still a work in progress, so all interface elements are subject to change as development continues.

For those interested in taking their home design skills to the next level, there’s an Advanced mode available. This feature invites creativity by allowing you to experiment with furniture clipping and rotating objects on all three axes. It’s perfect for players who enjoy crafting personalized spaces, allowing them to create intricate scenes through strategic placement and rotation.

Resizeable objects are another beneficial feature, making it easier to cater to the game’s diverse range of player models. Imagine a cozy nook for a gnome or a spacious setup for a Tauren. Additionally, Blizzard has demonstrated the ability to recolor certain furniture, specifically those crafted for player housing, though existing assets might not have the same versatility.

While the current focus is on interior design, Blizzard emphasizes that the exterior won’t limit your creativity inside the home. Feel free to have a grand mansion with just a single room or a tiny shack that opens up to multiple rooms—it’s entirely up to you. There’s a lot more to uncover, and the team is eager to share further details as they develop.

Amid these exciting updates, World of Warcraft players are diving into the 11.3 patch known as Undermine(d), set in the vibrant center of goblin cartel culture and commerce. Although we are still a few major updates away from the Midnight release, Blizzard continues to tease upcoming content. BlizzCon, the event known for its big reveals, is set to return in 2026 following its break. Personally, I’m thrilled about these sneak peeks of the player housing system. I’m particularly curious to see if Grizzly Hills is an option for setting up a tranquil retreat in the game—it’s where I’d love to settle down and soak in the peaceful environment.
