## Summary

Auroch Digital, the studio behind Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, says it is restructuring and has begun redundancy consultations that could affect around a quarter of its staff. The announcement cites difficult market conditions, despite the studio’s recent creative successes.

The initial statement was posted on 26 October and deleted within hours; it was reposted two days later, with no explanation for the deletion. At least two employees have also reported receiving redundancy notifications. The cuts come as Auroch has games including Boltgun 2 and Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! among its recent releases, and Warhammer Survivors due on 10 November; the studio was acquired by Roundtable Interactive less than a year ago.
