Annual subscription: bonus cosmetics for WoW Forever too

Blizzard rewards long subscriptions with cosmetic bonuses – three of them are exclusive to WoW Forever.

Who gets them?

• Anyone who buys a 12-month subscription or 365 days of game time
• One subscription covers current WoW, WoW Forever and WoW Classic (currently Mists of Pandaria Classic)

Only in WoW Forever

• Tabard Tabard of Eternal Exploration (transmog)
• Backpack Eternal Explorer's Backpack (transmog)
• Pet Azurky
• Plus another bonus for the Lunar New Year that Blizzard hasn't revealed yet

For the other versions there are mounts: Ashen Dreadglider and Giant Grrloc in current WoW, Cerulean Drake in WoW Classic.

Dates

• The first bonuses arrive by October 31, 2026
• The Lunar New Year bonuses follow by January 31, 2027 at the latest
• Redeem by April 30, 2027
• If you already have a 12-month subscription, keep auto-renewal switched on

The article doesn't list prices; you'll find them in the Battle.net shop.

⚠️ What this means for you: The bonuses are purely cosmetic and give no gameplay advantage. If you need a subscription for launch anyway, you get the three Forever items on top.
