LOS ANGELES – AUGUST 27, 2026 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, has rolled out a new update for its action game Solo Leveling: ARISE. The update features a new SSR hunter, new gameplay updates, and more.
Lee Joohee, Pilgrim of the Labyrinth joins the roster as a Light-element Buster with a combat style built around prisms. Her skills include Reflecting Chain, which allows her to reflect a damaging beam through a prism to attack enemies, Lucent Release, that strikes the area ahead with concentrated light, and Prism Blast, which focuses light from multiple magical prisms onto a single point, triggering a powerful explosion.
The update expands story content with Hard and Reverse Hard difficulties for Hidden Chapters 11 and 12. Players can also obtain the new Sung Jinwoo-exclusive SSR weapon “Spirit Blade: Snowstorm.” Moreover, a new season of the Simulation Gate is now underway, with higher difficulty levels added. Balance adjustments have been made to select Sung Jinwoo weapons, hunters, and artifact set effects.
Looking ahead, the new “Hall of the Monarchs” challenge content is scheduled to open on September 3. Players face increasingly stronger bosses and aim for high scores. Clearing a stage grants a base score, and additional points can be earned through the Proof of Mastery system that allows players to adjust the difficulty by selecting custom challenges.
The Hall of the Monarchs will be unlocked after clearing Workshop of Brilliant Light Tier 10 and will operate on a two-week seasonal cycle. Each season will feature enemies from the Workshop of Brilliant Light appearing at random, and players will be able to earn a special Title and Frame based on their rank.
Solo Leveling: ARISE is an action game adaptation of the hit webtoon, Solo Leveling. Taking on the role of Jinwoo, players can experience his journey through the beloved webtoon tale firsthand, leveling up, taking on dynamic battles, and creating their own combat styles by selecting various combinations of skills and weapons. Not only can players team up with hunters from the webtoon, they can summon their own “Army of Shadows” with the iconic phrase: “Arise.”
