Auroch Digital Announces 25% Layoffs

Auroch Digital just announced it would cut a quarter of its staff, then erased the post. The LinkedIn message said the cuts would affect about 25% of employees amid tough market conditions. It followed the release of Boltgun 2 in 2024 and the upcoming Warhammer Survivors set for November 10. Despite the studio's recent successes, the announcement was removed almost instantly, leaving only gaming sites with a single copy. Auroch, owned by Roundtable Interactive after a 2025 EMK Capital deal, may be tightening costs for the November launch. The sudden deletion has sparked speculation that the studio is trying to keep the workforce reduction under wraps. If the cuts happen, they will affect about 25% of the team behind Boltgun 2 and Starship Troopers. The studio's next move remains unclear, but the industry watches closely as the Warhammer franchise's future hangs in the balance.
