This is a major new video game based on the series, and it’s scheduled to be released later this year – confirmed for the second half of 2024.

While a specific date wasn’t available, a recent update has now confirmed the game’s release window, further increasing anticipation.

Good news for fans of Solo Leveling Karma: the game is now officially scheduled to launch in the second half of 2026.

If you haven’t already, you absolutely have to check out the incredible animated trailer they released a couple of months ago – it really gets you hyped!

Solo Leveling Karma Will Expand Upon The Lore Of The Series

Major Details About The 27 Year Monarch War To Be Unveiled

Currently, there are two Solo Leveling games available: Solo Leveling: Arise and Solo Leveling: Arise – Overdrive. While fans enjoyed these games, they didn’t significantly expand the story. However, the upcoming game, Solo Leveling Karma, promises to be different. It won’t be a revolution in gameplay, but rather in its story. Netmarble has announced that Karma will delve into previously unexplored lore from the original web novel and Manhwa, expanding on key background details that were never fully developed.

This new backstory focuses on a 27-year war that hasn’t happened yet in the anime, but is a key event in the original web novel and Manhwa. The war begins after the events of Solo Leveling, with Sung Jinwoo going back in time ten years. Using the Cup of Reincarnation, he aims to prevent the tragedies from the original story by using his future knowledge to change the past.

Sung Jinwoo embarks on a 27-year mission to defeat all the Monarchs and restore those who perished in his original world. While the original story reveals this overarching goal, the details remain largely unknown, as the author didn’t fully explore this period. “Solo Leveling: Karma” aims to fill those gaps, providing a deeper look into this massive war. The game will show fans exactly who Jinwoo battled and how those fights unfolded, ultimately adding more depth to his character and the mysterious shadows surrounding him.

Is Solo Leveling: Karma Canon?

Fans are understandably curious if the recent details about the 27-year war in Solo Leveling Karma will be officially part of the story. It’s currently unknown how much the original author, Chugong, is contributing to this new content, particularly when it comes to writing the story itself. For now, it’s best to treat this information as extra content. Regardless of whether it’s canon, this is the most insight fans will likely get about this enigmatic event.

  • Possible theatrical release or third season
  • Return of Solo Leveling Ragnarok manhwa

Right now, the only project with a firm release date is Solo Leveling Karma, scheduled for 2026. But there’s a lot of buzz about what else might be coming, and fans are really hoping to see Season 3 of the TV anime. Unfortunately, the studio hasn’t said anything official about a third season yet – we’re mostly going off things producers have mentioned in the past. It looks like they’re leaning towards releasing movies instead.

Happy New Year, 2026! I got a rubber band with the message ‘Art is not a crime!’ at the end of last year. I’m going to make that my motto for the year and give it my all. Also, Solo Leveling fans, something really exciting could be coming soon! I know it’s hard, but please be patient just a little longer. — Atsushi Kaneko

A leaked report from a recent production committee meeting suggests a new animated movie based on Solo Leveling is planned for release in late 2026. While not officially confirmed, the movie is in development, though production could potentially extend the release date to 2027.

In addition to the animated series, the Solo Leveling: Ragnarok manhwa will be back in 2026. Production was temporarily paused when the original artist had to fulfill his military service in South Korea. However, a new artist has been found, so the manhwa is expected to resume soon. We’re likely to see Season 3 of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok between mid and late 2026.
