Netmarble has revealed that Solo Leveling: Karma, a new video game set in the popular anime universe, will launch on PC and mobile devices in 2026. The title explores Jinwoo Sung's story after the original events but before the sequel Solo Leveling: Ragnarok. This announcement comes amid ongoing success for the Solo Leveling franchise.
Announcement Details
During a recent financial report, Netmarble announced the 2026 release window for Solo Leveling: Karma, confirming it as a video game rather than an anime continuation. The game is slated for PC and mobile platforms, filling a narrative gap of approximately 27 years between the end of the original Solo Leveling story and its sequel, Ragnarok. Promotional materials depict protagonist Jinwoo Sung on a throne, hinting at his continued growth in power and encounters with new characters.
Story Context
Solo Leveling originated as a South Korean webtoon before gaining massive popularity through its anime adaptation, with the second season airing in 2024. Solo Leveling: Karma positions players as an overpowered Jinwoo post his major adventures, bridging untold stories in this period. While no specific release date within 2026 was provided, the announcement aligns with Netmarble's expansion into anime-based games, including upcoming titles like The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin and Shangri-La Frontier: The Seven Colossi.
Franchise Outlook
The reveal coincides with the launch of Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive on November 25, 2025. Fans await news on a potential third anime season, given the extensive manhwa material, though no confirmation exists yet for an anime adaptation of Ragnarok. This game entry underscores the booming intersection of anime and gaming, capitalizing on Solo Leveling's global appeal.
