"World of Warcraft Launches 2025 Six-Month Subscription"

Summary

• New 6-month WoW subscription rewards include the Timbered Sky Snake mount and Timbered Air Snakelet pet.
• Subscribers receive the rewards by January 31, 2025, and must redeem before 2026.
• 12-month subscribers get additional mounts and pets.

World of Warcraft has introduced an exciting new set of in-game rewards for players who opt for a six-month subscription: the Timbered Sky Snake mount for modern WoW and the Timbered Air Snakelet pet for Classic. These items are themed around the 2025 Zodiac Sign, the Year of the Wood Snake. Subscribers who purchase or are already on a six-month plan will receive these new items by January 31, 2025.

Since 2018, World of Warcraft has rewarded players with bonus in-game items for opting into longer subscription periods, typically refreshing these rewards in January and July. These rewards often align with the lunar Zodiac signs, such as the Auspicious Arborwyrm for 2024, the Year of the Wood Dragon.

For 2025, the Timbered Sky Snake offers players a new flying mount in retail WoW, symbolizing the Year of the Wood Snake. Meanwhile, the Timbered Air Snakelet is a matching pet available for Cataclysm Classic. Players can acquire these items by subscribing for at least six months, although they are also available for individual purchase in the in-game store for $25 and $10, respectively. The Timbered Sky Snakelet, a pet for modern WoW, is available for $10 on the Battle.net shop, but it is not part of the subscription package.

January 2025 Six-Month WoW Subscription Offer

• Timbered Sky Snake skyriding mount for World of Warcraft: The War Within
• Timbered Air Snakelet, a small version of the mount, as a pet for Cataclysm Classic

Players currently on recurring six-month subscriptions will also receive these rewards. Both the mount and pet will be added to qualifying Battle.net accounts by January 31, 2025, and must be redeemed before the same date in 2026. After this date, they will likely be replaced with items themed around the Year of the Fire Horse.

For those choosing a 12-month subscription, additional rewards include the Startouched Furline, Gigantic Grrloc, and Charming Courier mounts for modern WoW, and the Lava Drake mount and Swoopy pet for Classic. These subscribers will also receive the July six-month subscription offer, making the 12-month deal highly attractive for collectors of mounts and pets.

Looking ahead, World of Warcraft's 2025 roadmap includes significant updates for both retail and Classic versions. Retail WoW is set to roll out patches 11.1 and possibly introduce player housing, while Classic will progress to Mists of Pandaria, with new anniversary realms advancing through vanilla to The Burning Crusade, and Season of Discovery entering its final phase. With such extensive plans, securing a bulk subscription now is a wise move for any World of Warcraft enthusiast.
