About NextLevel Loc
We're a team of passionate gamers and linguists dedicated to making games accessible worldwide.
Our Story
NextLevel Loc was founded by a group of game developers and translators who experienced firsthand how poor localization can ruin an amazing game. We saw studios struggling with translation agencies that didn't understand gaming, and players frustrated by awkward, culturally inappropriate translations.
We decided to build something different: a localization studio run by gamers, for gamers. A place where every translation preserves the soul of the original game while feeling native to the target audience.
Today, we've helped dozens of indie and mid-size studios reach new markets and connect with millions of players worldwide. And we're just getting started.
