Solo Leveling: KARMA, Netmarble’s new action game based on the hit Korean fantasy franchise, will receive a dedicated showcase at Anime Expo 2026. The news comes exactly one year after the title’s world premiere at the same event in July 2025.
The convention runs from July 2 to July 5 in Los Angeles, with the Solo Leveling panel scheduled for July 4, 10:30 -11:20 am PDT. It will take place at JW Marriott’s Diamond Room, focusing on KARMA, not the anime series.
As per Solo Leveling: KARMA’s official X post, franchise representatives such as June Sung Kim and Aleks Le will attend the panel. Additionally, a surprise guest is confirmed to attend, who will most likely be revealed during the Anime Expo program.
Attendees can expect exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes discussions, and new information about the project. The Solo Leveling panel will also distribute exclusive giveaways, including an Aleks-signed poster. Aleks is the English voice actor of the Solo Leveling protagonist, Sung Jin-woo.
What is Solo Leveling: KARMA and Why Does it Matter at Anime Expo 2026?
Solo Leveling: KARMA is a roguelite action RPG developed by Netmarble Neo and published by Netmarble, targeting PC, iOS, and Android. Recently, a trailer was unveiled at Anime Japan 2026, providing a better look at KARMA’s gameplay and narrative.
The game was already announced to feature an original story tied to a narrative gap in Solo Leveling. The game is set in an alternate dimension, where the protagonist Sung Jin-woo fights a 27-year war against the Monarchs.
The central mystery revolves around the Broken Cup of Reincarnation, an artifact tied to Jinwoo’s fragmented memories. KARMA focuses on skill-based combat with roguelite progression. A release date for the game is yet to be confirmed.
The Solo Leveling panel at Anime Expo 2026 marks KARMA’s most significant Western showcase since its debut. With no season 3 announcement from A-1 Pictures as of this writing, the game functions as the franchise’s primary active vehicle for new story content. The Solo Leveling live-action series is also in production, with no release date confirmed.
