NYCC 2025: Ize Press announces Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, the sequel to the global phenomenon Solo Leveling

Posted on by

Fans of the global phenomenon Solo Leveling rejoiced at the news of the official English print release of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok during New York Comic Con 2025. As the current print publisher of the Solo Leveling comic, Ize Press will be publishing the long- awaited sequel to the New York Times bestselling series in June 2026. Set years after the epic conclusion of Solo Leveling, Ragnarok follows Jinwoo Sung’s son as he discovers the truth behind his lineage and the weight of the legacy he never asked for. Packed with high-stakes action, intense character development, and breathtaking artwork, this new installment expands the Solo Leveling universe and continues the saga of humanity’s battle against monstrous threats. Solo Leveling: Ragnarok features an original story by Daul with art by JIN(REDICE STUDIO) and adapted by Brix(REDICE STUDIO).

In a world of gates, monsters, and hunters galore, Sooho Sung is…well, he’s just an ordinary college student. Sure, his parents went missing right before the gates started appearing three years ago, and he occasionally had a weird dream where he could battle monsters and level up like a video game, but other than that? There’s absolutely nothing special about him. So when a sudden monster outbreak occurs on his campus, he must fight back every instinct screaming at him to run away as he takes a page out of his dad’s book and rushes to save his cornered classmate. The chances of making it alive are looking bleak, until—PING! [Congratulations on becoming a Player.]

Following the unprecedented global success of its predecessor, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok is an ongoing action fantasy comic that has been serialized digitally on Tapas with over 1 million views as of September 2025. Solo Leveling has been elevated to heights never before seen for a Korean comic series in the U.S. market, topping charts on the global stage. Now readers can look forward to owning the sequel to this trailblazing manhwa powerhouse in print and experience a new beginning to a beloved franchise. While the eager fandom of this international juggernaut waits for the next season of the record-breaking anime adaptation, the final volume of the main series will release in March 2026, just before the sequel series debuts. Solo Leveling: Ragnarok will be available at major bookstores, online retailers, and comic book shops nationwide Summer 2026.

Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow-

The highly anticipated second season of Solo Leveling is finally here! Fans can embark on a thrilling new chapter as Sung Jinwoo faces powerful new adversaries, dives deeper into the mysteries of the system, and rises to unparalleled heights. Don’t miss the premiere episode as the global sensation returns only on Crunchyroll. Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- launches Saturday, January 4, 2025 at 9:30am PT on Crunchyroll.

Jinwoo has become a formidable necromancer with an army of loyal shadows at his command. But he must master these abilities while keeping them hidden from other hunters, all while racing against the clock to save his mother. As he faces humanity’s toughest foes, Jinwoo pushes his body and mind to the limit, and the full extent of his newfound power is revealed. 

Adapted from the best-selling Korean web novel written by Chugong, Solo Leveling follows Sung Jinwoo, the world’s weakest hunter. After being brutally slaughtered by monsters in a high-ranking dungeon, Jinwoo came back with the System, a program only he could see, that’s leveling him up in every way. Now, he’s inspired to discover the secrets behind his powers and the dungeon that spawned them.

Solo Leveling is animated by acclaimed studio A-1 Pictures (Sword Art Online). The series is directed by Shunsuke Nakashige (Sword Art Online Alicization War of Underworld). 

Solo Leveling Season 2 Arise from the Shadow reveals its Official Premiere Date and Ending Theme in a New Trailer

Posted on by

Crunchyroll and Aniplex have announced that Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- will officially premiere on January 4, 2025, only on Crunchyroll.

This news was shared alongside the release of the main trailer, giving fans a fresh look at new footage from the upcoming second season. The trailer also revealed the ending theme song, “UN-APEX” performed by TK (best known for Tokyo Ghoul’s “Unravel”), promising another emotional and powerful musical centerpiece for the series.

Adapted from the best-selling Korean web novel written by Chugong, Solo Leveling follows Sung Jinwoo, the world’s weakest hunter. After being brutally slaughtered by monsters in a high-ranking dungeon, Jinwoo came back with the System, a program only he could see, that’s leveling him up in every way. Now, he’s inspired to discover the secrets behind his powers and the dungeon that spawned them.

It’s been over ten years since gates that lead to another dimension have begun appearing across the world. The battles between the magic beasts inhabiting the dungeons through the gates and the human hunters who have awakened the abilities to fight them show no signs of ending. Ordinarily, a hunter’s abilities do not change upon awakening, with their rank never increasing. However, the low-ranked Sung Jinwoo, known as “The Weakest Hunter of All Mankind,” gained the ability to level up through battle during a raid on a double dungeon.

Having completed a job-change quest that earned him the job “Shadow Monarch” and command over an army of shadows, Jinwoo heads into battle seeking the ingredients for the Elixir of Life to save his sick mother.

Posted on by

Solo Leveling: ReAwakening features a catch-up recap of the first season coupled with an exclusive sneak peek of the first two episodes of the highly anticipated second season in one momentous theatrical fan experience.

Over a decade has passed since a pathway called a “gate” which connects this world and another dimension suddenly appeared, and people with superhuman powers called “hunters” have been awakened. Hunters use their superhuman powers to conquer dungeons inside the gates to make a living, and Sung Jinwoo, a hunter of the lowest rank, is considered the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind. One day, he encounters a double dungeon, a high-level dungeon hidden inside a low-level one. In front of a severely wounded Jinwoo, a mysterious quest window pops up. On the verge of death, Jinwoo decides to take on the quest, which makes him the only person who can level up. 

Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment will release Solo Leveling: ReAwakening in the United States and Canada in Movie Theaters this Friday, December 6. (In IMAX on December 4).
