Fans of “Solo Leveling” are eagerly awaiting news on the show’s third season, following the conclusion of Season 2 two months ago. Based on the popular South Korean web novel, the series follows the journey of Sung Jinwoo, known as the world’s weakest Hunter, who gains the unique ability to level up significantly after a harrowing near-death experience.
As anticipation builds for the announcement of Season 3, several key events have been identified where news could be revealed. Aniplex Online Fest 2025 stands out as a likely venue for the showcase, given Aniplex’s involvement as a major production partner. The annual festival is known for featuring significant anime announcements; in 2024, it included exclusive footage and exciting new projects.
If the production timeline for Season 3 targets late 2025 to early 2026, the Aniplex Online Fest in September would be an ideal opportunity for a formal announcement or the release of a teaser. Alternatively, Crunchyroll’s Anime Expo panel could also serve as a platform for major Season 3 updates, especially since Crunchyroll is the series’ official streaming partner outside of Asia. The previous Anime Expo in 2024 featured a Solo Leveling panel with cast appearances and exclusive previews, which has set a precedent for future announcements.
However, fans may need to exercise patience, as producer Sota Furuhashi indicated during a Los Angeles Q&A that the release for Season 3 may not occur until 2028, coinciding with the next Olympics. This timeline would be notably different from Seasons 1 and 2, which were released within a year of each other.
While the wait for new content may seem lengthy, the engagement from fans and the potential for high-profile announcements in the coming years suggest that the franchise is still very much alive and thriving. With each passing event, there’s hope that the anticipation will be met with rewarding news about the next chapter in Sung Jinwoo’s adventure.
