MAY 7, 2026 - Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, has released a new update for its action game Solo Leveling: ARISE, bringing a new hunter and a range of gameplay enhancements.

This update welcomes Antoine Martinez, a Light Elemental Stacker, to the roster of playable hunters. He specializes in axe-based combat, highlighted by his Ultimate Skill “The Angel’s Stay,” which empowers his weapon before he strikes the ground to unleash outward shockwaves. Additionally, excluding basic attacks, the final hit of his skills triggers the Wisdom effect and restores HP for allies, making him highly effective in both offensive and defensive roles.

Alongside the new hunter, the update delivers a broad set of content expansions and system upgrades aimed at improving the overall gameplay experience.

The main story has been refined to remove repetition in stages throughout chapters 3 to 20. Special Stages have also been added to select chapters in Normal difficulty, where players face unique boss encounters under restricted combat conditions.

Story content continues to expand with the addition of chapters 32 through 34 in both Normal and Reverse modes. In addition, a new Job Change for Sung Jinwoo, “Monarch of Shadows: Exterminator,” further enhances his combat potential and increases his maximum level cap from 140 to 150.

Several system enhancements have been applied as well. The entry currency for the Gates, Unstable Dungeon, Battlefield of Chaos, and the Hunter Archive game modes have been unified to a single Dungeon Entry Key for improved convenience. Plus, a new dungeon called the “Mind Rift” is also now available.

New gameplay systems have been introduced, including Monarch Milestones and the Successor system. The Successor system enables players to receive combat support from Successors who have inherited the powers of the Monarchs. As part of this update, players can encounter the first of these characters, the Successor of the White Flames Myro.

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.”
