Tapas Entertainment has announced the upcoming release of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, an exclusive webcomic series launching on November 11, 2024, only on Tapas.

As fans worldwide eagerly await the anime’s return, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok offers an exhilarating continuation of the saga, introducing fresh depth and new challenges for readers to explore.

With Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, Daul delivers the same heart-pounding excitement, emotional depth, and epic adventure that fans of the Solo Leveling series have come to love. Daul’s Dungeon Reset has been recognized as one of the most successful series on Kakao Page, and Solo Leveling: Ragnarok is set to further solidify Daul’s international acclaim.

Bringing this story to life is the renowned Redice Studio, whose stunning artistry has become synonymous with the Solo Leveling franchise.
