Solo Leveling Season 2 Confirms Release Window With First Look

As a die-hard anime fan who has traversed through countless series, I can confidently say that the upcoming Season 2 of “Solo Leveling” is shaping up to be a monumental moment in the world of animation. Having been captivated by the webcomic and then the Webtoon adaptation, I was overjoyed when the anime version finally made its debut earlier this year. Now, with the confirmation of Season 2’s January 2025 premiere, I find myself brimming with excitement that can only be compared to a level 99 Hunter facing off against a horde of monsters.


Next year, fans eagerly await the comeback of “Solo Leveling” on screens, as Season 2 has offered a sneak peek into what lies ahead. In recent years, many Webtoon adaptations have been successful, but one series in particular had left fans clamoring for more – that series being “Solo Leveling”. This long-awaited desire was finally fulfilled when the anime adaptation of “Solo Leveling” was officially released earlier this year, and it started off the year for anime with a powerful impact through its debut season. Given its impressive start, it’s no wonder that it will continue into another season.

The popular series Solo Leveling concluded its initial season earlier this year and swiftly announced that a Season 2 was underway. Although glimpses into what lies ahead have been sporadic, Solo Leveling has provided its clearest hint yet, revealing plans for a 2025 debut. At Aniplex Online Fest 2024, the spin-off titled Solo Leveling -Arise From the Shadow- confirmed it will air in January 2025 as part of the Winter 2025 anime lineup. To mark the occasion, you can view the first promotional image for the upcoming season below.

What Is Solo Leveling?

Created initially as a webcomic by Chugong and later adapted into a Webtoon with Dubu handling the artwork, “Solo Leveling” presents readers with Sung Jinwoo, who is the least powerful among all Hunters. In the world of Jinwoo, portals to dangerous monster-filled dungeons keep appearing nationwide. Due to his frailty, Jinwoo struggles to earn a living as a Hunter since he can barely defeat even the weakest monsters. However, after surviving an extremely perilous encounter, Jinwoo’s life undergoes a dramatic transformation.

With newfound power to enhance his abilities, Jinwoo embarks on slaying more monsters, aiming to reach a level that matches the mightiest warriors. Throughout the first season, viewers witnessed Jinwoo transform and switch classes, reaching his peak strength. As he strives for further growth, Solo Leveling promises to pit him against increasingly formidable adversaries with even greater powers.

What to Know for Solo Leveling Season 2

The second season of the anime “Solo Leveling: Rise from Shadows” is currently in production, focusing on Jinwoo who has transformed into a Shadow Monarch. With the power to summon the spirits of those he has vanquished and control them, this newfound ability should provide a significant advantage for him as he plans to confront the dungeon that holds the cure for his mother’s illness and resolves his main conflict. However, things may not go as smoothly as Jinwoo anticipates simply because he is stronger now.

In the upcoming second season of “Solo Leveling,” the original cast and crew from the first series will return, ensuring that quality remains consistent in the forthcoming episodes. With the groundwork laid by the first season, Season 2 can delve straight into the heart of the action since Jinwoo is no longer as weak as before. From now on, it’s all about non-stop excitement, so don’t forget to catch up on the first season on Crunchyroll and the source material on WEBTOON.
