Solo Leveling Season 2 Release (Possible Window)
While we have not found the release date of Solo Leveling Season 2, the adaptation will likely be released by the end of 2024. According to the January interview of D&C Media with Anime News Network, we can expect an October-November release window. For those unaware, they are the same company responsible for publishing the Solo Leveling webtoon. A possible delay won’t be surprising, considering the time it takes to produce an anime.
Solo Leveling Season 1 Ending
The concluding episode of Solo Leveling Season 1, “Aris,” finally sees Sung Jinwoo as the Shadow Monarch, raising Shadow soldiers and Igris to do Jinwoo’s bidding. Initially, Jinwoo was supposed to become a Necromancer, but since he quickly leveled up in many ranks, he moved up to the rank of Shadow Monarch. The central power he obtains is to turn his defeated foes into pawns for bidding. In episode 12, all the S-Rank Hunters are heading to Jeju Island. However, considering the pace, the Jeju Island Arc will likely not arrive until Season 3.
