Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE announced

Publisher Netmarble and developer Netmarble Neo have announced Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE, a new four-player co-op action RPG set in the popular franchise of the same name.

Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE is in development for Windows PC (via the Microsoft Store) and Xbox Series X|S, launching first for PC this fall and later for Xbox in 2026.
