Netmarble released the official combat reveal trailer for Solo Leveling: Karma on July 5, 2026 [1], during Anime Expo in Los Angeles.
The reveal provides a first look at the mechanical depth of the title, signaling how the developer intends to translate the series' high-intensity action into a roguelike format. Because the game targets a wide audience across multiple devices, the combat systems will determine if the title can maintain the fidelity of the source material.
Developed by Netmarble and Netmarble Neo, Solo Leveling: Karma is a roguelike action RPG [1]. The newly released footage highlights the game's fast-paced combat, emphasizing a variety of weapons, playstyles, and character builds [1]. This approach allows players to customize their approach to encounters, a core tenet of the roguelike genre.
The trailer was showcased during the festivities at Anime Expo and subsequently posted to IGN's YouTube channel [1]. The footage demonstrates the fluidity of the action sequences and the scale of the encounters players can expect to face.
Netmarble said the game will launch on iOS, Android, and PC [1]. By supporting these three platforms, the developer is positioning the game for maximum accessibility across the global gaming market.
While a specific release date for the full game was not detailed in the reveal, the combat trailer serves as a primary promotional tool to build anticipation. The focus on diverse builds suggests a high level of replayability, which is critical for the success of roguelike titles in the current competitive landscape.
“The reveal provides a first look at the mechanical depth of the title.”
The decision to implement a roguelike system into the Solo Leveling IP suggests Netmarble is prioritizing replayability and player agency over a strictly linear narrative. By launching simultaneously on PC and mobile, the company is pursuing a cross-platform strategy to capture both hardcore RPG players and the massive mobile gaming market, mirroring the distribution trends of successful modern action titles.
