Solo Leveling fans got a treat at Anime Expo 2025 with the reveal of a new roguelite RPG set in the show’s universe.
Solo Leveling: Karma introduces an original storyline set in the Dimensional Gap, an unexplored narrative window where protagonist Sung Jinwoo endures a 27-year-long war among Monarchs. At the heart of this epic is the “Broken Cup of Reincarnation,” an artifact that can only be restored through Jinwoo’s fragmented memories.
As for the gameplay, its isometric hack-and-slash combat is said to be thrilling and easily accessible. Players can summon iconic Shadows like Iron and Igris, perform signature combo skills, and select from an arsenal of weapons including daggers, scythes, and bows.
The game doesn’t currently have a release date, but we know it’s planned to be available on mobile and PC platforms.
More information on the game will reportedly be revealed on X, YouTube, and its official website in the coming weeks.
