A new original song by AURORA for World of Warcraft: Midnight

It's nice to be at home, to be able to lay down your gear, your weapons, and relax without the pressure of a threat. A peaceful, customizable living space is what the Midnight expansion of World of Warcraft has brought with the integration of the housing system. Today, to give more depth to this game mechanic that revolutionizes the formula, Blizzard Entertainment offers a new original song performed by AURORA.

Music, a vector of emotions

Whether you play a character of the Alliance or the Horde, since March 3rd, you can officially discover a novelty that radically changes the World of Warcraft universe: the housing system. This has been deployed as part of the Midnight expansion. It allows you to place your belongings in one of the Districts, knowing that several biomes are involved, and to build your home. Of course, to make players want to be and return home, they can customize their dwelling according to their desires. Various tools are available so that the only limit is creativity. Blizzard Entertainment had no doubt that many homes could surprise or even inspire the rest of the community, as the studio had launched a feature to share snapshots of your home on Pinterest. Two weeks later, the development team launched Season 1. This added several new features and challenges, allowing players to earn new rewards. 

Blizzard Entertainment did not wait for the end of the current season before communicating again about the game. Indeed, the studio has just released a new original song called "A Place to Call Home." As the name suggests, it refers to the housing system. Co-written by Brendon Williams, AURORA (Aurora Asknes by her real name) and Laura Intravia, this song performed by AURORA addresses themes of belonging, resilience, and the search for a home on Azeroth. It was designed in collaboration with the development studio's music team to ensure a perfect integration into the universe.

To listen to it, nothing could be simpler. It is accessible via most music streaming platforms, from Apple Music to Spotify, including iTunes Store, Amazon Music, Deezer, Bandcamp, or Tidal. To avoid searching for it on these platforms, we invite you to go through this link which gathers all the accesses. In addition to this, you can watch the magnificent music video that gives an additional dimension to the title thanks to a fantasy cinematic production. The visual narration thus links the messages of the song to the World of Warcraft universe to add a bit of lore. Fans of the franchise or newcomers, "A Place to Call Home" represents an invitation to allow everyone is questioning what defines a home.
