"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 them before 2026.
• 12-month subscribers get additional mounts and pets.

World of Warcraft has unveiled exciting new in-game items for players who commit to at least a six-month subscription: the Timbered Sky Snake mount for modern WoW, and the Timbered Air Snakelet pet for Classic. These rewards, inspired by the 2025 Zodiac Sign, are available to those who purchase or are currently on a bulk subscription, and will be delivered no later than January 31, 2025.

Since 2018, World of Warcraft has been rewarding players with special in-game incentives for long-term subscriptions. These rewards typically refresh in January and July, often themed around the lunar Zodiac signs. For instance, the Auspicious Arborwyrm was the highlight for 2024, celebrating the Year of the Wood Dragon.

The first six-month subscription offer for 2025 introduces the Timbered Sky Snake, a flying mount for retail WoW, symbolizing the Year of the Wood Snake, and the Timbered Air Snakelet, a matching pet for Cataclysm Classic. These items can be obtained by purchasing a six-month subscription or bought separately from the in-game store for $25 and $10, respectively. The Timbered Sky Snakelet, the modern WoW pet counterpart, is available for $10 at the Battle.net shop but is not part of the subscription offer.

January 2025 Six-Month WoW Subscription Offer

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

Players on existing recurring subscriptions will also receive these new rewards. Both items will be automatically added to qualifying Battle.net accounts by January 31, 2025, and must be redeemed before the same date in 2026, when they will be replaced by items themed for the Year of the Fire Horse.

For those opting for 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 it an excellent choice for avid mount collectors.

Looking ahead, World of Warcraft's 2025 roadmap promises significant updates. Retail WoW will see major patches starting with 11.1, and there's potential for player housing by year's end. For Classic, progression servers will advance to Mists of Pandaria, new anniversary realms will cover vanilla through The Burning Crusade, and Season of Discovery will reach its final phase. With such ambitious plans across all versions of World of Warcraft, securing a bulk subscription now is a smart move for any dedicated player.
