World of Warcraft has introduced exciting new features for both its modern and Classic versions. Players can now acquire the Herald of Sa’bak mount and the Sa’bak’s Favored pet by subscribing to a recurring plan of six months or more. These intriguing additions draw inspiration from the ancient Egyptian cultures of Uldum.
For both new subscribers and those already on a qualifying plan, these items will be awarded by July 31 at the latest, often arriving sooner. Since 2018, World of Warcraft has provided complimentary in-game items to players who commit to long-term subscriptions. Typically, these incentives take the form of mounts and pets, which are refreshed every January and July.
Notably, items like the Timbered Sky Snake, drawn from the lunar Zodiac, are part of this rotating selection, while July’s offerings vary without a central theme. Blizzard’s latest announcement outlines their second and final six-month subscription for 2025, featuring the striking Herald of Sa’bak mount—a winged, crocodile-inspired Skyriding creature for modern World of Warcraft—and the adorable Sa’bak’s Favored pet for Classic. Both items are complimentary with subscription purchases or can be bought separately for $25 and $10, respectively.
Additionally, players can find other collectibles in the cash shop, such as the Sa’bak’s Blessing pet and Envoy of Sa’bak flying mount, which are excluded from the subscription offer. In addition to the recent introductions, players opting for a 12-month subscription will unlock a range of other rewards, including the Timbered Sky Snake and several unique pets for both modern WoW and Classic. The upcoming patches and expansions, such as the War Within Patch 11.2 set to release on August 5 and an intriguing reveal at Gamescom, provide even more reasons for players to consider these subscription options.
In the exciting opening chapter of The Worldsoul Saga, adventurers will explore vast, unseen subterranean realms that house ancient threats and wonders.
