Solo Leveling 2026 Release Date Update, New Upcoming Projects Explained

by

Without a doubt, Solo Leveling is the anime sensation of the moment. The series became incredibly popular in 2024 with its anime release, and the second season in 2025 was even more of a hit. Solo Leveling also received major recognition, winning awards like Anime of the Year and Best Main Character. Fans are already eagerly anticipating what comes next for the series.

There’s not much news yet about what’s coming next for Solo Leveling. While a third season of the anime hasn’t been announced, the creators are working on other projects. In addition to the anime, a new Solo Leveling video game is in development, which promises to be quite ambitious. Plus, more manhwa content is on the way with Solo Leveling: Ragnarok. All of this points to 2026 being a fantastic year for Solo Leveling fans.

Solo Leveling Season 3 Seems To Have Been Delayed

No Release Date Has Been Revealed For 2026

Season 2 of Solo Leveling premiered in early 2025, and it’s been nearly a year since then. Fans have been eagerly awaiting news about Season 3, especially since Seasons 1 and 2 were released within a year of each other. This led many to believe Season 3 would follow a similar timeline.

It’s now very clear that Season 3 of Solo Leveling won’t be released in 2026. While producers have mentioned wanting to create another season, no official announcements have been made. If a new season were planned for 2026, even a late release, we would have heard something by now.

The third season of Solo Leveling has been pushed back, but there’s a potential upside. The studio behind the series is focusing on creating a movie they hope will be a major success in 2026.

  • A Production Committee Report Reveals A Movie Is Coming
  • Movie Details Remain Scarce

While Season 3 of Solo Leveling is currently paused, fans shouldn’t worry about not getting new animated content. In fact, something even more exciting might be coming! A leaked report a few months ago suggested that instead of continuing with another season, the studio is planning a movie based on the series.

A Solo Leveling movie would be a huge hit, and fans expect the animation to be even more impressive than in Season 2. Everyone is eager to see what the studio creates, and many hope it will be released in 2026 as planned. However, the release date could be delayed to 2027 if production takes longer than expected.

Details about the Solo Leveling movie are still unknown, and fans are eagerly waiting for updates from the studio. The decision to create a movie instead of continuing with a third season appears to have been inspired by the huge success of the Demon Slayer film, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 – Akaza’s Return. This suggests the Solo Leveling movie will follow the original story closely, picking up where the second season of the anime left off.

Taito Ban hopes the show continues to build on its success and isn’t cut short, as there are still many stories to explore. He’s envisioning future seasons – potentially up to season five – and even a possible movie.

While new animated series would be exciting, the most concrete project fans can anticipate in 2026 is the major video game adaptation of Solo Leveling, titled Solo Leveling: Karma.

The game Solo Leveling: Karma is scheduled to launch around 2026, though the specific date is still to come. Unlike a typical follow-up, this game will delve into previously unseen backstory and details about the world of Solo Leveling, expanding on the original story’s lore.

The upcoming novel, Solo Leveling: Karma, will delve into the 27-Year Monarch War, providing a more detailed account than what was shown in the original webcomic. Fans are eager to discover the full story of Sung Jinwoo’s experiences during those years.

Solo Leveling Karma will be available to play on PC and Mobile.
