6waves Lolapps has announced their latest acquisition, Beijing-based Smartron5. The new deal will increase 6waves’ presence in China while bolstering their development capabilities for a localized Asian marketplace.
"The Asian market is complex and the Smartron5 team brings western-production values with a deep understanding of how to be successful in China," said 6waves Lolapps CEO Rex Ng.
"This addition to our team is key to our globalization strategy and will benefit our own game development efforts as well as those of our publishing partners."
Smartron5’s 30+ employee studio will remain on hand to help develop publishing and localization opportunities. The studio joins the ranks of Lolapps’ other firms located in London, San Francisco and other Asian studios.
This acquisition represents a litany of buyouts and mergers that have been undertaken by 6waves Lolapps, who have only recently merged as of July.
