Solo Leveling has quickly become one of the most talked-about anime series in the world, and for good reason. From jaw-dropping animation to its intense storytelling and powerful character development, Solo Leveling Seasons 1 and 2 have left fans begging for more. But since the second season wrapped up earlier this year, things have been quiet—until now. That silence might be broken soon. With Aniplex Online Fest 2025 happening on September 13, fans believe this could finally be the day we get a major update—or even an official announcement—about Solo Leveling Season 3.
The Aniplex Online Fest is a major event in the anime world, and it’s no surprise that fans are expecting big news from it—especially regarding Solo Leveling. Since the anime is a collaboration between A-1 Pictures and Aniplex, this event is the perfect opportunity for a reveal.
Whether it’s a teaser trailer, a new poster, or just official confirmation that Season 3 is in production, fans are keeping their eyes locked on the date. With the festival landing on a Saturday this year, hype is at an all-time high.
Officially, there’s been no release date set for Solo Leveling Season 3—but some hints from the production team give us a timeline.
Based on previous interviews and reports, the release window for Season 3 could fall anywhere between 2026 and 2028. While 2026 is the earliest hope, producers have indicated that a more realistic window could be 2027 or even 2028, depending on how long it takes to ensure top-tier quality.
That may sound like a long wait, but given how detailed and beautifully animated the first two seasons were, most fans agree it’s worth it.
Fans want more Solo Leveling—and they want it fast. But let’s be honest: rushed anime seasons rarely deliver. With a story as beloved and visually demanding as this one, taking extra time could mean a much more polished and powerful adaptation of the next arc.
Season 3 is expected to dive deeper into the world’s lore, introduce even more powerful enemies, and showcase Sung Jinwoo’s evolution on an entirely new level. A sloppy adaptation would be a disservice to fans and the original material.
Can’t wait until 2026 (or beyond) for more Solo Leveling? Here are a few things you can do in the meantime:
Whether we get a trailer, a release date, or just confirmation that production is underway, September 13 is shaping up to be a huge day for Solo Leveling fans. With Aniplex Online Fest around the corner, expectations are high—but so is the excitement.
So mark your calendars, set your reminders, and get ready. Sung Jinwoo might be stepping back into the spotlight sooner than we think.
