Solo Leveling Season 2 Premiere Date and Trailer Revealed

In collaboration with Aniplex, Crunchyroll has announced that Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- will officially premiere on January 4, 2025, only on Crunchyroll. The news was shared alongside the release of the main trailer, giving fans a fresh look at new footage from the upcoming second season.

The Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- trailer also revealed the ending theme song, “UN-APEX” performed by TK (best known for Tokyo Ghoul‘s “Unravel”), promising another emotional and powerful musical centerpiece for the series.

Adapted from the best-selling Korean web novel written by Chugong, Solo Leveling follows Sung Jinwoo, the world’s weakest hunter.

After being brutally slaughtered by monsters in a high-ranking dungeon, Jinwoo returned with the System, a program only he could see that leveled him up in every way. Now, he’s inspired to discover the secrets behind his powers and the dungeon that spawned them.

It’s been over ten years since gates leading to another dimension began appearing worldwide. The battles between the magic beasts inhabiting the dungeons through the gates and the human hunters who have awakened the abilities to fight them show no signs of ending.

Ordinarily, a hunter’s abilities do not change upon awakening, with their rank never increasing. However, the low-ranked Sung Jinwoo, known as “The Weakest Hunter of All Mankind,” gained the ability to level up through battle during a raid on a double dungeon.

Having completed a job-change quest that earned him the job “Shadow Monarch” and command over an army of shadows, Jinwoo heads into battle seeking the ingredients for the Elixir of Life to save his sick mother.

Solo Leveling is animated by acclaimed A-1 Pictures (Sword Art Online). The series is directed by Shunsuke Nakashige (Sword Art Online Alicization War of Underworld). You can watch the first season of Solo Leveling on the Crunchyroll site.
