Following the heartwarming moment, it doesn’t take long for the story to pick up the pace and commence the Jeju Island Arc, where Jinwo fought his most powerful opponent yet. The series has a lot of mysteries to unravel in the upcoming seasons, but the studio has stayed silent on the matter so far. It’s been more than a year since the anime concluded its Season 2, and there hasn’t been an update regarding the sequel season yet.

Not only will the video game adapt the original plot by Chugong, but it will also expand the story even further through many original scenes.

The game is expected to follow the 27 years of Jinwoo’s journey when he travels back in time to save countless lives that were lost due to the appearance of the gates. Along with his shadows, he fought for 27 years against all the Monarchs in order to ensure that the gates wouldn’t appear in the current timeline.

Solo Leveling: Karma is expected to be released this year, although the exact date hasn’t been confirmed yet.

The new updates during the Anime Expo might shed more light on the franchise’s latest project. For over three decades now, the annual anime convention held in California, known as Anime Expo, has been bringing exciting news, merchandise, and more for fans across the globe. Each year, the convention celebrates Japanese pop culture, features panels, holds workshops, and much more.
