After winning the hearts of millions of anime fans, the legendary K-Webtoon Solo Leveling is now set to resurrect as an action role-playing game. Are you excited to level up and become the world’s strongest hunter?
The awe-inspiring tale of Sung Jin-woo recently transcended its original medium, catering to an audience of 14.3 billion. The Solo Leveling anime, produced by A-1 Pictures, swiftly became one of the biggest titles of 2024 after its release in January. Despite being a single-cour anime, the narrative has captivated fans globally, entering polls to become the anime of the year.
Though the first season of Solo Leveling is wrapping up soon after episode 12, fans will not miss the Hunters’ world for too long. The popular South Korean game developer Netmarble has announced an action RPG titled Solo Leveling: Arise for fans to experience Jin-woo’s story firsthand. With the new game, fans won’t just witness his narrative, but step into his shoes to become the world’s strongest hunter.
The action mobile game will be available for Android, iOS, and PC, and pre-registration has already opened for dedicated fans waiting to gain early access. Here’s the official global release date for Solo Leveling: Arise and more about the gameplay!
