Solo Leveling just left us on an epic cliffhanger, with Sung Jinwoo saying the one word fans of the manwha have been waiting for — so when is Season 2 coming out?
With all that said, when is Solo Leveling returning? Was that all of the first season? You can find out everything below!
Solo Leveling Season 2 release window
After Sung Jinwoo becomes the Shadow Monarch in Episode 12, Solo Leveling Episode 13 will start theRed Gate Arc, which runs from chapters 46 to 63. This is where a dungeon is made much more difficult due to the gate behind closing after humans pass through.
As can be gathered from the first trailer, the landscape is snowy and hostile. The quest was meant to be a training exercise for an E-rank hunter, Han Song-Yi, but the Red Gate makes it a little more difficult.
Once that’s done, the Dungeon Castle Arc is next, but explaining any further would be spoiling everything. Needless to say Sung Jinwoo continues to evolve, and so do the challenges he’s met with.
Solo Leveling Season 2 is expected to last 13 episodes.This is because it’s part of a 25 episode commission by Aniplex. Technically, it’s the second half of the first season in Japan, but Crunchyroll is simplifying everything by just calling it Season 2.
Anime seasons are commonly split into parts, the most famous recent example being the numerous cours in Attack on Titan’s last season. There are 200 chapters of the webtoon to adapt, and Solo Leveling has only covered 45 so far, so plenty more to go!
