Netmarble has officially unveiled Solo Leveling: KARMA, a new roguelite action RPG set in the popular Solo Leveling universe. Announced during Anime Expo 2025, the game is coming to PC, iOS, and Android, offering fans a new way to experience the high-octane world of hunters and monsters.

Unlike the previously released Solo Leveling: ARISE, KARMA embraces a roguelite format with fast-paced dungeon crawling, isometric combat, and permadeath-style gameplay loops reminiscent of games like Hades. With a strong emphasis on combat fluidity, skill progression, and replayability, KARMA marks a bold new direction for the franchise’s gaming adaptations.

A Hidden Chapter Unfolds

Set during a mysterious 27-year time gap in the Solo Leveling timeline, KARMA aims to fill in the blanks surrounding Sung Jinwoo’s journey. Players will once again step into the shoes of the legendary Shadow Monarch as he battles across an endless war filled with dangerous enemies and supernatural chaos. This unexplored arc dives deeper into Jinwoo’s evolution as a hunter and the sacrifices made in pursuit of absolute power.

Netmarble describes the story as a “hidden arc” that expands on lore not previously covered in the original webtoon or anime, offering long-time fans fresh context and new stakes.

Roguelite Gameplay with a Stylish Edge

Solo Leveling: KARMA blends flashy, stylized visuals with roguelite mechanics. Each dungeon run will be different, with procedurally generated environments, randomized enemy patterns, and evolving boss battles. Combat looks slick and kinetic, driven by quick combos, evasive maneuvers, and the ability to summon shadows in the heat of battle.

Trailer footage showcased vibrant character models, explosive special effects, and a gritty tone fitting for the series. From what’s been shown, KARMA is focused on delivering a gameplay-first experience, likely appealing to action RPG fans even outside the Solo Leveling fandom.

Release Plans and Availability

The game is confirmed for PC, iOS, and Android. While Netmarble hasn’t provided a concrete release date yet, pre-registration and beta announcements are expected in the coming months.

With KARMA, Netmarble looks to capitalize on the growing success of the Solo Leveling IP while also branching into new territory with roguelite design and original storytelling.

Solo Leveling: KARMA could be the next must-play mobile and PC action title for fans of the series and fans of the roguelite genre alike. By filling in a crucial gap in Jinwoo’s story and delivering gameplay that rewards mastery and persistence, it promises to be more than just another anime tie-in.

Stay tuned for more updates as Netmarble reveals additional gameplay, characters, and release details in the lead-up to launch.
