After making fans wait for more than a year, A-1 Pictures finally confirmed a Solo Leveling film to continue Sung Jinwoo’s journey. The second season has already wrapped up the Jeju Island Arc, but the story is far from over. Jinwoo has yet to solve the mystery behind the system and the appearance of the Gates that ruined the world ten years ago. The upcoming film will finally set the stage for the mysteries to be unraveled as the story will enter a crucial phase. However, while the film has yet to share more updates on its release window and even the plot, another project of the franchise is making huge waves with the latest trailer and a manhwa sequel. Solo Leveling: KARMA, an upcoming RPG game, has been under development for over a year now, and it will follow an original story.

While fans await the game’s official launch, the official X handle of Solo Leveling: Karma shares a hilarious manhwa panel featuring the first episode of the “Moments in Between” series, where Jinwoo enters a wrong world before his fight against the Monarchs continues. Each manhwa strip features an original plot not mentioned in the novel, since the video game will be expanding on the story’s conclusion.
Solo Leveling: KARMA Reveals a New World
These short glimpses at Jinwoo’s journey are supposed to briefly focus on each of the new worlds he entered during the 27 years he was away. The first manhwa strip was released in June 2026, which featured Jinwoo mistakenly entering a prehistoric era. Realizing he entered the wrong world, Jinwoo hastily left the place, leaving the dinosaur confused and full of questions.
The official X handle released a new story where Jinwoo enters a world without magic beasts and Hunters. The world is far more peaceful than the one Jinwoo grew up in. Even so, when he crosses paths with Cha Haein, she somehow recognizes his familiar scent despite never meeting him. Their encounter was only brief, and it focused on Haein since Jinwoo didn’t actually meet her, but she somehow still longs for him. It recreates the first meeting between the characters, confirming that Haein will always recognize him in every universe.
Solo Leveling: KARMA Teases a New Villain
The promotional trailer was released earlier this month and begins with the events of the first season before Jinwoo was approached by the system. The video shares a brief look at his journey up until the second season before it features the gameplay and the characters who will be making their appearance.
It also shares glimpses of the alternate settings where he has been fighting those he was closest to. The game will follow the 27 years of his journey when he travels back in time to defeat the Monarchs and save the countless lives that were lost after the appearance of the gates. Since Jinwoo kept jumping through multiple alternate timelines, he met several of his acquaintances who even turned into his enemies.
As the promotional trailer was nearing its end, Jinwoo approached a mysterious man responsible for everything that’s happened so far. The man is clearly someone Jinwoo is familiar with but didn’t expect to meet as an enemy, but the trailer hides the identity of the villain to build more hype around the game’s upcoming release.
