New Solo Leveling Roguelite Action-RPG Announced

Netmarble has officially announced a new video game project based on the popular Solo Leveling franchise during the Anime Japan 2026 event.
The upcoming title is called Solo Leveling: KARMA and is being developed as a roguelite action-RPG.
Players will experience a story set during the historical 27-Year War of Monarchs within the series’ lore.
The series follows Sung Jinwoo, a man once known as the world’s weakest hunter who was nearly killed in a high-ranking dungeon.
Jinwoo survived the encounter and gained access to a unique program called the System that allows him to level up his abilities in ways no other hunter can.
The story tracks his journey as he uses his new powers to uncover the truth behind the mysterious dungeons and the source of his strength.
Netmarble released a teaser trailer for the game that showcases a combination of in-game gameplay footage and high-quality animation produced by A-1 Pictures.
The game is currently slated for a release window sometime in 2026.
