It’s been one year since Solo Leveling: ARISE burst onto the gaming scene, and Netmarble is pulling out all the stops to celebrate. Starting May 8, 2025, players can dive into a massive 1st Anniversary update filled with high-impact content, an electrifying new SSR hunter, powerful job advancements, new story arcs, and limited-time in-game events that run until July 3.
Whether you’re a day-one Shadow Monarch or just stepping into the world of Jinwoo, now’s the perfect time to join the fight.
⚔️ New SSR Hunter: Cha Hae-In, the Pure Sword Princess
Leading the charge in this update is Cha Hae-In, the new water-type SSR hunter. Known as the Pure Sword Princess, she hails from an alternate timeline fractured by the Cup of Reincarnation and serves as the guild master of the Valkyrie Guild in her world. Her skill set is nothing short of celestial:
- Ultimate Ability: A radiant sword cleaves the skies, summoning a downpour of divine blades that pierce enemies in a flurry of light and destruction.
- Combat Style: Agile, elegant, and lethal—perfect for players who love graceful yet devastating melee combat.
🗺️ New Story Content & Boss Challenges
Alongside Cha Hae-In comes fresh PvE content that expands the Solo Leveling universe:
- New Story Missions: Witness a gripping Knights Guild raid in Busan and a tense dungeon break at Sung Jinah’s school.
- New Bosses: Face Yogumunt, the Monarch of Transfiguration, in the [Workshop of Brilliant Light] Distorted Sanctuary, and battle the ferocious Ant King in Instance Dungeon mode.
- Level Cap Increase: Sung Jinwoo’s max level is now Lv. 110.
