World of Warcraft Unveils 2025 Six-Month Subscription Plan

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 exciting new in-game items for fans who opt for a six-month subscription: the Timbered Sky Snake mount for modern WoW and the Timbered Air Snakelet pet for Classic WoW. These rewards, inspired by the 2025 Zodiac Sign, are available to players who purchase or are already on a six-month subscription plan, with the items being delivered no later than January 31, 2025.

Since 2018, World of Warcraft has been rewarding players who commit to longer subscription periods with unique in-game bonuses. These rewards often align with the lunar Zodiac signs and are refreshed in January and July. For instance, the 2024 Year of the Wood Dragon brought the Auspicious Arborwyrm.

The first six-month subscription offer for 2025 introduces the Timbered Sky Snake, a skyriding mount for retail WoW, symbolizing the Year of the Wood Snake. Alongside it, the Timbered Air Snakelet, a smaller version of the mount, serves as a pet for Cataclysm Classic. Players can acquire these items by subscribing for at least six months, or they can purchase them separately from the in-game store for $25 for the mount and $10 for the pet. Notably, the Timbered Sky Snakelet for modern WoW is available for $10 on the Battle.net shop but isn't part of the subscription package.

• 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

Existing subscribers on recurring six-month plans will also receive these new rewards. Both items will be added to qualifying Battle.net accounts by January 31, 2025, and must be redeemed by the same date in 2026, before they are likely replaced with items themed around the lunar 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 WoW. Subscribers will also receive the upcoming July six-month subscription offer, making this an especially attractive deal for avid collectors.

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