OCTOBER 23, 2025 - Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, has announced a new update for its action game Solo Leveling:ARISE. The latest update celebrates an incredible collaboration with the popular Japanese fantasy manga and anime series Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End that introduces new SSR hunters, special crossover content, and more.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End tells the story of an elf mage Frieren, who embarks on a new journey after her party of heroes defeats the Demon King, meeting new companions and experiencing various adventures along the way.

As part of the collaboration, three new SSR Hunters are now available as playable characters: 

• Frieren is a water-type Mage who uses magical spells to control the battlefield. Her ultimate skill, “Basic Magic Attack (Zoltraak) - Ultimate,” releases a massive blast of magic. 
• Fern is a fire-type Mage who maximizes the amount of mana she unleashes in a single  gigantic Zoltraak blast, obliterating enemies in front of her when using her ultimate skill “Demon-killing Magic (Zoltraak) - Mighty.”
• Stark is a fire-type Tank who fights with a massive axe. His ultimate skill “Lightning Strike: Annihilation” lets him strike the ground powerfully with it. 

Each collab hunter comes with their own exclusive weapon (Frieren’s Staff, Fern’s Staff, and Stark’s Axe). Additionally, players can experience a new exclusive SSR light-element weapon for Sung Jinwoo: the “Sword of the Hero.” 

To celebrate the collaboration with Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, the Travel Companions! Check-In Gift Event is now live. Players can obtain exclusive check-in rewards such as the Travel Companions! SSR Hunter Selection Ticket and more by simply logging into the game. Players can also challenge the collab event dungeon to fight the event boss “Aura the Guillotine.” 

The new update also features several new content updates and improvements. The “Monarch of Steel [Valtair]” has been added as a new boss in the Workshop of Brilliant Light game mode, alongside an overall reduction in difficulty that allows more players to enjoy the content. Players can also discover a new boss in the Instance Dungeon and dig into the brand-new content “The Overseer's Forbidden Library,” which will be available starting November 6th. 

Solo Leveling: ARISE is an action game adaptation of the hit webtoon, Solo Leveling. Taking on the role of Jinwoo, players can experience his journey through the beloved webtoon tale firsthand, leveling up, taking on dynamic battles, and creating their own combat styles by selecting various combinations of skills and weapons. Not only can players team up with hunters from the webtoon, they can summon their own “Army of Shadows” with the iconic phrase: “Arise.”
