The spirit of Garry’s Mod continues to live on – and not just from, y’know, all the people still playing Garry’s Mod in 2026. The Prop Hunt mode that the legendary sandbox helped popularize is now a part of everything from Fortnite to Genshin Impact, and we’ll soon be able to add World of Warcraft to that list. Yes, Blizzard’s MMO is getting its own take on Prop Hunt this year.
In WoW, the mode will be called Decor Duel, and in today’s State of Azeroth broadcast, director Ion Hazzikostas was not shy about calling it a “Prop Hunt-inspired event.” It’ll land as part of patch 12.0.5, which will hit the PTR “shortly after Midnight’s launch.”
Watch On
Yep, that sure does sound like Prop Hunt. The game mode’s origins reach back into the shadowy pre-history of online gaming mods, but the take made for Garry’s Mod is the one that stuck. Play hide-and-seek as a piece of movable furniture and wait for chaos to ensue. The appeal is pretty self-explanatory, and it’s little wonder it remains so popular that the biggest games in the world are now regularly swiping from it.
But World of Warcraft in particular hasn’t been afraid of getting zanier with its diversionary side activities. Just look at that 60-player pirate battle royale mode. The only real question is what’s next. A take on social deduction ala Among Us? An extraction mode? Anything would be a nice respite from all the death WoW players are apparently in for.
