JANUARY 15, 2026 - Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, has launched a major update for its action game Solo Leveling: ARISE. The update introduces two new SSR Hunters, alongside new story content, a competitive PvP mode, and more.
The Red Knight Igris, who is the most loyal sword of the Monarch of Shadows, has arrived under the name Sian Halat. He is a powerful Dark-type Elemental Stacker that unleashes overwhelming destructive power at the center of the new combat meta. When Sian Halat uses his ultimate skill “Knight's Pride,” he channels his inner strength into his broadsword and performs a powerful strike toward the front that leads his army to victory.
Joining him is Son Kihoon, a Dark-type Breaker who will maximize the efficiency of Dark Element parties alongside Sian Halat. He is known for his combat skills using his sword and shield, such as “Fierce Charge” where he scrapes the ground with his sword and performs a powerful upward slash. His ultimate skill “Thrilling Fighting Spirit” spreads powerful fighting to those nearby.
This update also introduces a new PvP event “International Clash,” where players form both attack and defense teams using up to five Hunters and nine Tactic Cards. Participants will challenge other players in PvP battles and earn points to receive special titles and other rewards based on their performance.
New story content has also been added, including Hidden Chapters 1 and 2, as well as Chapters 19 and 20 now offering Expert difficulty. Various “Snow Flower!”-themed events are underway that offer players a chance to earn generous rewards.
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.”
