Solo Leveling: KARMA: Pre-registration is live, TGS shows gameplay

Pre-registration for the roguelite action RPG "Solo Leveling: KARMA" has been open since September 16, 2026. Netmarble presented the current version at the Tokyo Game Show 2026, confirming eight playable characters, more than 200 buffs and a shadow army whose members can be directly controlled.

The 27 years of the Monarch War become playable

"Solo Leveling: KARMA" picks up in a stretch of the story that the source material does not tell in detail. After the Chalice of Rebirth is used, Sung Jinwoo fights the Monarchs in the dimensional rift for 27 years. Netmarble is expanding this period into a new gameplay storyline.

The combat system combines various weapons with roguelite elements. According to Netmarble, daggers, greatswords, firearms, bows and gauntlets are among the available weapon types. During a run, selected effects change one's own build. According to developer Netmarble Neo, the TGS version includes more than 200 such buffs and eight playable characters. The shadow army serves not only as a summon but can in some cases be taken over directly.

Pre-registration is also possible via the German site

Pre-registration runs through the App Store, Google Play and the official German website. For store registration, Netmarble names a Predator costume for Sung Jinwoo as a reward, among others. Additional registration via the official website includes, among other things, a Shadow Monarch accessory and a Monarch box. Netmarble still does not name a release date. The current announcement lists iOS and Android as target platforms.

At the TGS presentation, actor Kanata Hongo played both the story and the survival mode. Netmarble is also present at the fair with other anime-related projects. These include Shangri-La Frontier: first gameplay and new PV at TGS. Also playable at the fair is Jujutsu Kaisen RUMBLE: world premiere of the game version at TGS.
