Blizzard has unveiled exciting new details about the in-game housing system set to debut in the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, Midnight. While Midnight follows The War Within as part of the Worldsoul saga, early previews indicate that the level of customization in the housing system will surpass many players' expectations.

A recent developer blog showcased in-game videos demonstrating the mechanics of furniture placement. The system employs a grid for alignment with automatic snapping, enabling seamless arrangement of items. Players can also enhance larger objects like shelves or tables with smaller accessories, which remain attached even when the larger piece is moved.

The housing system offers two modes to cater to different player preferences: a Basic Mode for easy organization and an Advanced Mode for those who love to get creative. In Advanced Mode, players have the freedom to rotate objects on all three axes and stack them in innovative ways, allowing for the creation of intricate and visually appealing interiors.

Another standout feature is the ability to scale objects, which accommodates the varying sizes of different character races. For example, gnomes can craft cozy, intimate spaces, while tauren can design more expansive areas. Additionally, certain pieces of furniture designed specifically for the housing system will allow for recoloring, although this feature may not be available for legacy assets.

With the release of Midnight still months away, Blizzard is keeping the excitement alive by regularly sharing updates and teasers about the upcoming content, ensuring players stay engaged and eager for what's next in the world of Azeroth.
