Solo Leveling, also called Only I Level Up, is an anime TV series. This is a Korean series based on the popular web novel written by Chu Gong. You must be curious, why it is in the news, when no announcement about the release is confirmed.
It’s all due to the investment from Sony, which shows that the new series will come with a bigger budget and with greater production quality.
The novel became very popular from 2016 to 2018 and was later adapted by a top animation studio, A-1 Pictures. The series is directed by Shunsuke Nakashige, known for series like Sword Art Online and ReAwakening. The script is written by a famous writer, Noboru Kimura, while Tomoko Sudo designed the character, who has also designed characters like Ragna the Bloodedge, Akatsuki, and more.
The Solo Leveling season 1 was first released on 7 January 2024 and almost immediately gained popularity. The second season, Solo Leveling: Arise from the Shadow, was announced upon the finale of the first one. It aired on January 5, 2025.

Fans await season 3 eagerly. The producer also said it may premiere in early 2026, possibly near the Winter Olympics timeline. This is earlier than expected.
