Netmarble has released a new update for Solo Leveling: ARISE, which adds a new hunter, Antoine Martinez, and major system updates. The update adds new story content, a new dungeon, and more.
Martinez is a Light Elemental Stacke that specializes in axe-based combat. He utilizes an Ultimate Skill called “The Angel’s Stay,” which empowers his weapon before he strikes the ground to unleash shockwaves. Additionally, the final hit of his skills triggers the Wisdom effect and restores HP for allies. This makes him highly effective in both offensive and defensive roles. The update also adds refinements to the main story. Now, repetition in stages throughout chapters 3 to 20 has been removed. Special Stages are now playable in select chapters in Normal difficulty, where players must face unique boss encounters under restricted combat conditions.
Chapters 32 to 34 of the story are now available as well, alongside a new job change for Sung Jinwoo: “Monarch of Shadows: Exterminator.” The entry currency for the Gates, Unstable Dungeon, Battlefield of Chaos, and the Hunter Archive game modes have been unified to a single Dungeon Entry Key for improved convenience. Plus, a new dungeon known as the “Mind Rift” is also now accessible. Finally, the update adds new gameplay systems: the Successor system and Monarch Milestones.
Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE is available now for PC via Microsoft Store and Steam, followed by PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in Q3 2026. Final Weapon reviewed Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE and gave it a 4/5 score, noting that the game has “many improvements across the board, including major gameplay tweaks and additions, a more immersive story mode structure, and the removal of gacha mechanics.”
Lastly, Solo Leveling: ARISE is available now for Android, iOS, and PC.
