The official Azeroth Survivors game is not on GitHub. It is made by Aethus and played at wow.aethus.pl. The best-known GitHub project, OutThisLife/azeroth-survivors-re, is a separate community build that you compile and run yourself.
Is there an official GitHub repository?
We found none. The game page at wow.aethus.pl links a Discord server and a Windows download. It does not link a source repository. To play the real game, open wow.aethus.pl in a current Chrome, Edge or Safari; see where to play and download.
What the OutThisLife repository is
azeroth-survivors-re describes itself as “A survivors roguelite running on a from-scratch World of Warcraft 1.12.1 client engine (Rust + Bevy).” Its README opens with “Not an original project.” It credits Aethus, links wow.aethus.pl and calls itself “a from-source local build of the game … for personal use”.
- Created: 13 October 2026. Its newest commit on 2026-10-28 was dated 26 October 2026.
- Engine: the README names two upstream projects, benilla, a from-scratch WoW 1.12.1 client in Rust, and wenilla, benilla compiled to WebAssembly.
- Licence: the README says its engine code is under MIT or Apache 2.0.
- Game data: the README says it ships no Blizzard content. It reads data from a World of Warcraft 1.12.1 client that is not in the repository; its setup downloads about 5.5 GB.
How it differs from the game at wow.aethus.pl
The README describes sixteen zones, a class movement spell on F from level 5, and a free camera on C. The original game’s v0.123.0 (425f2391) data has 12 zones; see the zone order. Controls and balance can differ too, so guides written for one build may not fit the other.
Our guides follow the original game unless they say otherwise. The build comparison explains how to tell which one a guide describes.
Saves and support
We have not tested whether a save from the browser game works in the repository build. Keep an untouched save backup before you try. Report problems with the repository build to its issue tracker, not to the game’s developer.

Is azeroth-survivors-re the official game?
No. Its README says “Not an original project” and points to the original game by Aethus at wow.aethus.pl.
Is the GitHub version the same as the browser game?
No. The README describes sixteen zones and an F movement spell; the original game has its own zone list and controls.
Where do I play the real Azeroth Survivors?
At wow.aethus.pl, free in a current Chrome, Edge or Safari. A Windows download is linked on the same page.
