During an interview with PCGamer, Principal Designer and Housing Lead Jesse Kurlancheek revealed that a Guild Halls feature will come soon after the World of Warcraft: Midnight expansion launch.

Executive Producer Holly Longdale says a 2026 Housing Roadmap will be released close to launch.

Ion Hazzikostas says co-decorating of houses is on the roadmap. Co-ownership is being discussed at the moment.

Highlight of things coming post-launch:

  • Decor drops from Midnight’s raids with a guaranteed number of items per boss that has decor. This decor will be a personal loot and includes bad luck protection.
  • New Housing Renown levels. Extra housing XP.
  • 5-10 Housing Levels will be added with each major content patch.
  • Exterior rooms with daylight and exterior scenes indoors.
  • Night Elf and Blood Elf exteriors.
  • Generously-sized “medium” home exteriors.
  • More-visible plot boundaries.
  • Interactive objects allow players to hold a glass, a book, or play a game with Diablo IV expansion pre-order bonus chess set.
  • You will be able to import and export rooms, collections of objects, and (in discussion) entire houses.
  • Increased number of Exterior Decor Limit.
  • Prohibition of Exterior Lighting to be lifted.
  • Mounts and Pets in your collection will be allowed to wander your home.
  • New Interior and Exterior Decor to mimic other cultures (non-playable races) and biomes: i.e. snow.
  • Some Decor will have flavor animations when you click them. i.e click a cauldron and it bubbles in response.

Things under discussion that aren’t coming any time soon.

  • More nuanced neighborhood controls for leaders.
  • Permission for Guild Ranks that allow guild leaders to determine whether characters can build a house in the guild neighborhood.
  • Basement levels.
  • More communal spaces and event support: i.e. lap track, player-controlled ticketed play on a communal stage, large-scale roleplaying events, or interactive Sleep No More-style interactive narrative houses using interactive objects.
  • Future neighborhood areas (expanding existing neighborhoods or creating new neighborhoods)
