Boltgun 2 and Warhammer Survivors devs Auroch Digital say they're laying of 25% of their staff in now-deleted posts

Auroch Digital, the studio behind Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun II and Warhammer Survivors, revealed on Tuesday that they will be laying off approximately 25% of their workforce as part of a restructuring effort. Intriguingly, the initial public announcements about the layoffs, made on LinkedIn and Twitter, have been subsequently deleted.

In their statement posted yesterday, Auroch Digital expressed pride in their recent releases, Boltgun II and Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War, but acknowledged that the same market conditions impacting many developers have also affected them. They expressed regret to the staff affected and urged partners and industry colleagues to consider hiring these skilled professionals, who have worked on projects ranging from indie shooters to AAA co-development.

Despite the reduction in staff, Auroch Digital confirmed that post-launch development for both Boltgun II and Warhammer Survivors will continue. This situation is unfortunately not rare, as lay-offs seem to occur almost every week. However, this particular case stands out as the public statements have been erased from Auroch Digital's social media platforms within a day of their initial posting. The studio has reached out to RPS for further clarification on the matter.
