Solo Leveling Season 3: Anime Release Date

The anime "Leveling Up Alone" has become one of the most anticipated releases in the industry as a whole, and the success of the anime source material and the popularity of the franchise have placed a certain burden of expectations and hopes on the management of A-1 Pictures. The story of Sung Jin-Woo is already a cult in the anime industry, and the further the events are, the more momentum is gained, and the protagonist grows both as a person and as a hunter, causing delight and sympathy in viewers with his actions.

The audience is eagerly awaiting new episodes of the series and wondering when the Leveling Up Alone Season 3 will be released. High ratings and viewer love already guarantee the extension of the project and a full adaptation "from" and "to" of the brainchild of Chugong. This article contains all the information that excites the hearts of fans about the continuation of the anime adaptation, supplemented by interesting facts about the series and a brief retelling of the plot.

When is Level Up Solo Season 3 coming out?

There is no official information about the release date of Season 3 of Leveling Up Alone yet, but based on the latest news, we can assume that we will have to wait until 2027-2028. The quick release of the second part is due to the fact that the media company aniplex ordered 25 episodes from an animation studio A-1 Pictures, which were split into 2 parts, so don't expect the third part to come out quickly.

The anime is very popular and has received positive ratings from viewers, so the announcement of the next season is only a matter of time. Especially since the original novel is completed and there will be no problems with material for new episodes. In many ways, the release dates depend on how quickly the studios come to an agreement among themselves, settling all financial issues for concluding a new contract.

Produced by Aniplex, Sota Furuhashi, made a statement that he does not rule out the release of the sequel only in 2028, because a colossal amount of work was done during the 1st and 2nd seasons, 220 frames of animation were created. Based on his words, the schedule of episodes in the article was shifted forward. However, everything is in the hands of Kaneko and A-000 Pictures, if desired, production of episodes can be launched earlier.

Season 3 episodes release schedule

The release schedule of the episodes is still tentative and will be adjusted after the official announcement. The duration of the continuation with equal probability can be 12-13 episodes, like the previous seasons.

Briefly about the events of previous seasons of the anime

For those who have forgotten the previous events, we will briefly remind you what happened earlier in the anime plot.

1 Season

Seong Jin-Woo is an E-rank Hunter who is known as "Humanity's Weakest Weapon" among his comrades. He continues to go into dungeons solely to pay the hospital bills for his mother, who is in a coma, and to provide for his younger sister, Seong Jin-Ah, who is in school.

During one of the raids, Jin-Woo and his comrades, having defeated the boss, discover a second gate and decide to explore it by vote. This decision turns out to be fateful for the protagonist. Having found himself in a room with huge statues that begin to kill hunters, the protagonist eventually stays behind to give his comrades, Lee Ju-Hee and Song Chi-Yul, the opportunity to escape and survive.

After this, Jin-Woo becomes a player in a mysterious system and the only hunter who can increase his own power level. Thus, he begins to level up by completing daily quests and dungeons, but for safety reasons, he hides this fact from everyone. Along the way, he finds an ally, D-rank hunter Yu Jin-Ho, the scion of a rich and influential family, and at the same time becomes a target for S-rank Hwang Dong-Soo, whose brother Song was forced to kill.

The first season ended with a career change arc, during which the protagonist unlocked the necromancer class. He also sets himself the goal of completing an S-rank dungeon and obtaining all the ingredients for a special potion that can heal his mother.

2 Season

The second part of the anime started with the Red Gate arc. Jin-Woo, wanting to warn his sister's classmate Han Song-Yi of danger, takes her along to a training dungeon clearing with of the White Tiger Guild. However, the gate turns out to be bloody, and all the participants of the training must now defeat the boss to return to the real world.

The group splits into two parts. One, consisting of "ballast", is led by the protagonist, and the other is led by the strongest hunter in the team. The second group quickly dies during a battle with strong monsters - ice elves. Jin-Woo and his comrades not only survive, but also defeat the boss, returning home.

In the following episodes, Jin-Woo decides to venture into high-ranking dungeons as a porter, where he helps out the Hunters Guild by rescuing its from a dungeon raid filled with high orcs. At the same time, the giant ant problem on Jeju Island escalates. The Korean S-rank Hunters decide to team up with their Japanese counterparts and form a single raid to deal with this threat once and for all in one attack.

By completing the conquest of the Demon Castle by defeating the Demon Monarch, Ram, the protagonist obtains all the necessary ingredients to create the Elixir of Life, which can awaken his mother from her eternal sleep. Park Kyung-Hye is safely brought back to life and reunited with his son and daughter.

Song receives an offer to the raid on Jeju, but refuses to participate, believing that there are plenty of powerful hunters there who can kill the Queen Ant and her children without him.

At first, everything goes as planned, but the hunters who arrived were unaware that the Queen had given birth to a "child" whose powers were many times greater than hers. After defeating the Queen, this monster enters the scene and begins killing off Japan's S-ranked hunters one by one, mortally wounding Cha Hae-In in the process.

It would seem that nothing can be done against him, and the participants of the raid along with humanity are doomed, when Jin-Woo and his shadow army intervene, defeating all opponents. He extracts Bera's shadow, saves the Korean hunters and helps deal with the ants that flew from the island to the mainland.

At the end, they show the two Lords and Jin Woo's father, whose story will be revealed in the next season.

Since the original anime has already ended, we can assume what events will be screened in the third season of "Level Up Alone". The following section contains spoilers, but we will try to convey only the essence, without details, to keep the intrigue. If anyone is interested in the details, you can ask questions in the comments.

What will happen in Season 3 of the anime Leveling Up Alone

After clearing the Red Gate, Sung Jin-Woo has received the money he needs to found his own guild and will begin selecting candidates. Soon, the American Hunter Bureau will come for him with an offer to increase his strength in order to attract him to their ranks. This is a very tempting offer, because the protagonist is just preparing to return to that ill-fated "double" dungeon where he almost died when he became a "player" of the system and meet that very statue.

A few weeks after the clearing of Jeju Island, the "Japanese crisis" will begin - an S-rank gate will open over Tokyo, while the country is left without its best hunters, so there is no one to "cleanse" it. A gate breach of this magnitude could wipe Japan off the face of the earth, but the entire world, including South Korea, refused to help them.

Sung Jin-Woo will team up with the Knights, the 5th strongest guild in South Korea, to raid a rank A dungeon close to S, and they ask for his help. In the midst of the dungeon, the gate in Seoul, Sung Jin-Ah's (sister's) school, will be breached, and she will be in mortal danger while her brother is far away.

Seong Jin-Woo will be invited to America for an international hunter conference, where it will be revealed for the first time that someone has begun hunting the strongest S-rank hunters, but the only suspect will be Jin-Woo's father, who disappeared in the gate. There, he will also meet Hwang Dong-Soo, whose brother intended to kill him in the dungeon along with Yu Jin-Ho (in Season 1) and will try to take revenge on them. This will lead to a conflict with Thomas Andre, the strongest hunter in the United States and the leader of the guild where Hwang Dong-Soo is listed.

At the end of Season 3, the Overlords first appeared in the cave on Jeju Island. It is likely that the Ice Overlord (white elf) will appear in the last episode of Season XNUMX, attacking the South Korean Hunter Bureau.

At the same time, it will become known that 9 powerful clots of magical energy have formed around the planet, preceding the appearance of the gate, and the most powerful of them is located above Seoul (South Korea), the city where Seong Jin-Woo lives.
