All of the upcoming features Blizzard has announced for player housing… though there’s no release timeline for any of them

Though Blizzard has given us a roadmap for World of Warcraft in 2026, it doesn’t include anything about our new favorite feature, Player Housing (aka house transmog). However, housing fans should not despair: Blizzard is working on a lot of new housing content, but the devs haven’t committed to a strict timeline for releasing it. While Blizzard did mention a housing-specific roadmap in a recent PC Gamer interview, for now we just have a long list of features Blizzard is working on… and it looks pretty good.

Blizzard has said that players are really guiding ongoing development of Player Housing, and we’ve already seen that in action. For example, when players found a bug that allowed their houses to float, Blizzard didn’t issue a bug fix to remove the ability. Instead, they made it easier for all players to make their houses float, and warned that there weren’t any textures on the bottom of homes, so players may want to put something under their homes to give them a more finished appearance. Many of the items on Blizzard’s housing to-do list are apparently inspired by players, too, as Blizzard reads feedback and see what players are building.

It’s possible we’ll get a roadmap closer to launch, or we may simply get a list of features as they’re ready, closer to patch release dates. But for now, this is what we know Blizzard is working on. At the State of Azeroth event, Ion Hazzikostas promised some big features coming in the future, but that PC Gamer interview also included a lot of tantalizing new features, some of which are supposedly coming “soon.” But how distant any of these things are arriving remains vague.

But let’s look at what we know. Here are the features Blizzard has talked about adding to WoW Player Housing:

• More ways to showcase cosmetic collections, like companion pets, mounts, and perhaps weapons and armor. Hunter pets and alts aren’t on the near future agenda due to technical limitations.
• Mass select items to move or rotate them. Copy and paste items or groups of items. This much-wanted feature will make it easier to rearrange and tweak rooms so they look perfect.
• Import and export codes to share items, groups of items, rooms, or perhaps even entire homes.
• Co-ownership of homes, letting players own and decorate their homes together.
• Guild halls or other shared communal spaces. While we hadn’t heard anything about guild halls until housing lead Jesse Kurlancheek mentioned them to PC Gamer, Jesse says they may be live soon, perhaps with Midnight or shortly afterwards. (But, again, no one is making specific launch promises for anything.)
• Plenty of new decor. There will be decor drops from Midnight raids (though what they will be remains unclear), as well as more items representing different cultures and biomes. So snow wasn’t available for this real world winter season, but we may have it before the next.
• Interior and exterior budgets will keep going up, so our cases can keep growing and getting weirder.
• New renown levels for housing that will add new rooms, features, and increased budgets. Players should expect 5 – 10 new levels available in each major patch.
• While this one isn’t likely to come any time soon, Blizzard is considering adding new neighborhood areas, either by expanding current neighborhoods or adding new ones.
• Another one that doesn’t seem to be on the immediate agenda is basements. While players have created basement-like spaces, you officially can’t make below-ground levels of your home due to technical limitations. Perhaps some time in the future.

It’s a big list, and probably doesn’t include everything Blizzard is working on. And it doesn’t include everything I’d like to see, such as new home exteriors and colors. I’d love to see techno-cities of Gnome-style housing, or the spooky graveyard full of Gilnean-style homes. But, as I said, these things could be on the development list, just not on the list that Blizzard is comfortable with sharing just yet.

It’s clear that Player Housing is a feature Blizzard intends to keep building, on, that will continue well past Midnight. For now, this is the feature development list that we know about, but I’ll keep this post updated with new features and release dates when we get them.

Is there anything you’re looking forward to on the list? Or anything you’re looking forward to that isn’t on the list? There’s a world of possibilities, and it feels like Blizzard is just getting started.
