LOS ANGELES JUNE 5, 2025 - Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, has released a new in-game update for its action game Solo Leveling:ARISE. Players can now experience a new hunter, fresh story content, various events, and more.
 
The latest update introduces a new wind-type SSR Mage, Lennart Niermann. He is an S-rank hunter and the guild master of the Richter Guild, the top guild in Germany. Niermann is also known for his mastery of mana-based combat. He has several exciting skills, including his ultimate skill, “Todes-Symphonie,” which unleashes magical duplicates of himself to pummel enemies across the battlefield.
 
Players can now access the Main Story Chapters released during the May update (Chapters 24 and 25) in Reverse Mode on both Normal and Hard difficulties. In addition, by completing the [Workshop of Brilliant Light] Distorted Sanctuary on Normal difficulty, players can unlock a new Hard difficulty level. Players can also challenge the new boss Higos in Encore Missions mode. 
 
Other content updates include enhancements to the Gem system that allow players to promote and refine Rank 6 Gems. A new artifact management feature has been added as well, combining the existing “Salvage Artifact” and “Sell Artifact” features. Players can now choose to receive either Gold or Artifact Enhancement Chips when salvaging artifacts. The updated management system also enables players to lock or unselect all artifacts via management options. 
 
A variety of limited-time events with generous rewards are now available. These include “A New Start! Check-In Gift” and “A New Start! Daily Mission” events. Special events to welcome the new hunter Lennart Niermann, such as the “Lennart Niermann Growth Tournament” and “Lennart Niermann Rate Up Celebration! Special Dice Event,” are now open as well. The “[Wanted] Workshop of Brilliant Light Yogumunt Event” is also live and provides exclusive rewards such as a special costume to players who clear the dungeon the fastest. 
 
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.
