Even after more than a year since the latest season’s finale, Solo Leveling has yet to officially announce its sequel. The second season of the anime wraps up the Jeju Island Arc, but Jinwoo’s journey will only continue to get more dangerous. Additionally, the sequel spin-off manhwa, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, also entered an indefinite hiatus in January this year following the artist’s enlistment in mandatory military service, which typically lasts for 18 to 21 months. Amid the delays, Solo Leveling: Arise continues to release new content for fans. Developed by the popular gaming company Netmarble, the game is available for Android, iOS, and PC, with a gacha monetization system.

It includes playable canon and original characters set in the same world as the main story. The official website of the game has a dedicated page for Hunter Origin one-shots, with each update following the game’s characters, including those from the original story and those introduced in Arise. The website released a new one-shot recently, following Agnes Riveria, a new playable character exclusive to the game.
Who Is Agnes Riveria in Solo Leveling?
The one-shot introduces her tragic story before she becomes the Dark Buster Hunter and the leader of the Rivera Guild. Before awakening her powers, she ponders the betrayal of her lover, Dante, who left everything behind after causing destruction. Unable to understand the reason behind his actions, she wastes her days away until he returns to her. However, the man only came to kill her, which helped Agnes awaken her powers.
He accepts his death at her hands, knowing that he will never be free from the unknown force controlling him. Agnes swears to get to the bottom of this and avenge his tragic demise before becoming a full-fledged Hunter.
What’s Next For Solo Leveling?
While there have been rumors about the sequel’s release window, nothing can be confirmed before an official announcement by the animation studio or the producers. The upcoming sequel will continue Jinwoo’s journey as an S-Rank Hunter and introduce several new characters, including the powerful National Hunters. Furthermore, the story has yet to unravel mysteries behind the gates’ appearance. The story also has to explore the true goal of the two Monarchs who appeared at the end of the Jeju Island Arc.
Additionally, Anime Expo is being held from July 2nd to July 5th, and A-1 Pictures will be holding its panel on the second day of the event. However, Solo Leveling fans will have another thing to look forward to as the upcoming action RPG, Solo Leveling: Karma, developed by Netmarble, will also share major updates on July 4th.
The game was announced during Anime Expo 2025 and has yet to confirm a release date. Executive Producer Jun-sung Kim and the voice of Sung Jin-woo, Aleks Le, will be making their appearance during the panel. The game is set to expand the original story and follow the 27 years of battle Jinwoo fought against the Monarchs after resetting the timelines so the strings of tragedies won’t happen again.
