The Solo Leveling universe is about to grow even larger. During the New York Comic Con 2025 weekend, IZE Press confirmed that Solo Leveling: Ragnarok — the highly discussed continuation of Chugong’s hit manhwa — will be getting an official print release. While a firm release date has not been revealed, the news has thrilled fans who have been eagerly waiting for the next chapter in the franchise’s evolution.
Expanding the Solo Leveling Universe
Following the massive success of Solo Leveling season 2 and its growing gaming adaptations, Ragnarok has quickly emerged as one of the most anticipated spin-offs in recent memory. Though its canonical status remains debated among fans, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok introduces an entirely new lead — Sung Suho, the son of Sung Jinwoo, the legendary Shadow Monarch.
The series, which first premiered digitally on KakaoPage, shifts the focus from Jinwoo’s journey of survival to Suho’s path of self-discovery and heroism. Readers have praised Suho’s personality, his evolving powers, and his heartwarming bond with familiar faces like Beru. Many argue that Ragnarok captures the same energy that made the original such a phenomenon while adding emotional depth and generational storytelling.
From Webtoon to Print: A New Era for Fans
IZE Press’s decision to bring Ragnarok to print marks a major step forward for the franchise’s global expansion. Fans who first followed the story online will soon be able to collect physical volumes, much like the original Solo Leveling series. This move allows the fan community to support the creators directly while revisiting the story in high-quality print editions.
In addition to Ragnarok, the original Solo Leveling novel and manhwa continue to perform strongly under the same publisher, with steady reprints and growing international readership. The timing of this release suggests that the brand is preparing for its next big wave, potentially aligning with a season 3 announcement.
A Possible True Sequel on the Horizon
In a recent interview with LitRes, Solo Leveling creator Chugong confirmed that while Ragnarok is an alternate storyline rather than a direct continuation, he is considering writing a “true sequel” to the original saga. This revelation has sparked intense speculation among fans about whether the next chapter will revisit Jinwoo’s reign as the Shadow Monarch or explore new realms within the Solo Leveling multiverse.
Chugong’s statement reinforces that the Solo Leveling franchise is far from over. With Ragnarok gaining popularity and more projects on the horizon, the series remains a powerhouse in both anime and manhwa communities.
As fans await concrete updates on Solo Leveling season 3, Ragnarok’s print release promises to keep the fire burning — offering a new adventure while honoring the legacy of the original.
