Auroch Digital Reposts Layoff Notice After Deleting It
The Bristol studio confirmed cuts on October 28, 2026 but did not say how many staff are affected; an earlier LinkedIn post had cited about 25 percent.
Auroch Digital reposted its announcement of studio layoffs on October 28, 2026, after briefly deleting the original statement, according to Kotaku. The new version confirms that jobs have been cut but does not specify how many employees are affected.
The Bristol, England-based developer had first announced a restructuring on October 26, 2026, in a statement that said around a quarter of employees would be affected. A LinkedIn message that has since been deleted had put the cuts at roughly 25 percent of the studio.
Auroch Digital shipped Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! earlier in 2026 and released Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 in mid-October. The sequel currently holds a 96 percent positive rating on Steam from fewer than 1,000 user reviews.
The studio's next release, Warhammer Survivors, is scheduled for November 10.
The original Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, released in 2023, has drawn over 11,000 Steam reviews and later arrived on Game Pass.
