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 unveiled a fresh set of in-game rewards for players opting for at least a six-month subscription: the Timbered Sky Snake mount for modern WoW and the Timbered Air Snakelet pet for Classic. These items, inspired by the 2025 Zodiac Sign of the Wood Snake, will be available to players who purchase or are already on a bulk subscription by January 31, 2025.

Since 2018, World of Warcraft has consistently provided bonus in-game incentives for players committing to six or more months of subscription time. These rewards, typically updated in January and July, often reflect the lunar Zodiac signs of their respective years. 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 flying mount for retail WoW symbolizing the Year of the Wood Snake, alongside the Timbered Air Snakelet, a companion pet for Cataclysm Classic. Players can acquire these items by purchasing a six-month subscription, though they are also available separately in the in-game store for $25 and $10, respectively. Notably, the Timbered Sky Snakelet for modern WoW can be purchased on the Battle.net shop for $10 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 small version of the mount, as a pet for Cataclysm Classic

Players currently on recurring subscriptions will also receive these rewards. Both items will be automatically added to qualifying Battle.net accounts no later than January 31, 2025, and must be redeemed before the same date in 2026, when they will likely be replaced by items themed for the Year of the Fire Horse.

In addition to the Timbered Sky Snake and Timbered Air Snakelet, those choosing a 12-month subscription will receive the Startouched Furline, Gigantic Grrloc, and Charming Courier mounts for modern WoW, as well as the Lava Drake mount and Swoopy pet for Classic. Subscribers will also automatically receive the July six-month subscription offer, making this an attractive option for mount collectors.

Looking ahead, World of Warcraft's 2025 roadmap promises exciting developments. Retail WoW is set to roll out 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 avid players.
