World of Warcraft Reveals First 6-Month Subscription Offer of 2025

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 rewards for players who commit to a six-month subscription: the Timbered Sky Snake mount for modern WoW and the Timbered Air Snakelet pet for Classic. These items, themed around the 2025 Zodiac Sign, the Year of the Wood Snake, are available to those who purchase or are already on a six-month subscription plan. Players will receive these rewards no later than January 31, 2025.

Since 2018, World of Warcraft has been rewarding subscribers with unique in-game items every January and July, often themed around the lunar Zodiac. Previous rewards, like the Auspicious Arborwyrm for the Year of the Wood Dragon in 2024, have been well-received by the community.

For the new 2025 offer, the Timbered Sky Snake serves as a skyriding mount in World of Warcraft: The War Within, while the Timbered Air Snakelet is a charming pet available for Cataclysm Classic. These rewards are included with a six-month subscription, but can also be purchased individually from the in-game store for $25 and $10 respectively. Note that the Timbered Sky Snakelet for modern WoW can be bought from the Battle.net shop for $10, though it is not part of the subscription deal.

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 a recurring subscription will automatically receive these rewards. Both items will be added to eligible Battle.net accounts by January 31, 2025, and must be redeemed before January 31, 2026, when they will be replaced with 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, as well as the Lava Drake mount and Swoopy pet for Classic. These subscribers will also receive the July six-month subscription offer, making it an attractive option for avid mount collectors.

Looking ahead, World of Warcraft's 2025 roadmap promises significant updates. Retail WoW is set to receive two major patches starting with 11.1, and there's a possibility of player housing by year's end. Meanwhile, Classic's progression servers will advance to Mists of Pandaria, and the new anniversary realms will progress through vanilla and into The Burning Crusade. Additionally, Season of Discovery will enter its final phase. With such ambitious plans across all versions of World of Warcraft, securing a bulk subscription now could enhance your gaming experience significantly.
