6waves Lolapps (6L) is making waves in the mobile gaming industry with its recent acquisition of Dallas-based mobile games maker Escalation Studios. The undisclosed amount deal has brought the two companies together to create exciting new games for iPhone and Android users.
The integration of Escalation Studios into 6L’s product development team has been seamless, with the studio continuing to work on creating innovative games for the publisher.

With offices in Beijing, Tokyo, and San Francisco, 6L now boasts a team of over 210 employees worldwide, ready to take on the competitive mobile gaming landscape.
As 6L expands its presence on iPhone and Android devices, the collaboration with Escalation Studios promises to bring fresh and exciting gaming experiences to players. With a shared passion for innovation and game development, the future looks bright for this dynamic partnership in the mobile gaming industry.
