Warhammer 40K: Boltgun Studio Cuts 25% Staff [Confirmed]

Auroch Digital, the acclaimed UK development studio behind retro shooter Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, has entered formal redundancy consultations impacting roughly twenty-five percent of its total workforce following an abruptly deleted social media announcement. According to verified reports from PC Gamer and initial industry coverage, studio leadership posted a detailed restructuring confirmation on LinkedIn before deleting the post minutes later. The deleted public memorandum highlighted that despite strong creative reception for recent titles, severe market headwinds compelled management to downsize several project divisions. The announcement comes as a shock to fans, given that the studio had shipped Boltgun 2 just two weeks prior to the internal disclosure. The situation mirrors wider talent volatility across development organizations, similar to developments seen in the [Bonfire Studios Arkheron AI Turmoil Report [Confirmed]](/news/bonfire-studios-arkheron-ai-turmoil). Auroch Digital confirmed that ongoing development commitments for upcoming releases like Warhammer Survivors and Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War updates remain active under revised departmental allocations while affected personnel receive statutory redundancy consultation support across current UK operational hubs.
