Solo Leveling Arise trailers
There’s plenty of footage out there of Solo Leveling already, as the game originates from a viral Korean cartoon, comic, and has multiple anime adaptations. This is the first videogame version, though, and we’ve included some trailers from the game’s promotional period in this guide.
The pre-register trailer looks at the history of Solo Leveling, including the statistics of the franchise being viewed more than 14.3 billion times, and being the most viewed and subscribed webtoon in North America, China, Japan, and Korea. It also shows our protagonist, Sung Jinwoo, hurling a blade at the feet of an overgrown enemy engulfed in flames. The trailer details the January 2024 anime version of Solo Leveling, before explaining the launch window of Spring 2024 for the videogame adaptation.
The first main promotional video from 2023 shows in-game footage of the environment, which has an unsurprisingly cartoon-style animation, complete with bright blue burning torches, ferocious red and gray wolf enemies, and featured Sung Jinwoo’s iconic electric blue eyes. As he dodges and leaps over enemies, he encounters a huge purple and silver bloodstained dragon, which he bounds towards before plunging his blade in its flesh. It’s an action-packed trailer, and one that gives us plenty to be excited about when the game arrives.
The focus group highlights video from September 2023 detailed player feedback after a limited number of people were granted access to the game to provide insight and information from a fan perspective of the franchise. Players praised the complex battle scenes, variety of weapons, and ability to connect with the hunter protagonist. The gameplay showed bosses and enemies with rapidly depleting health bars as players pummeled them with a variety of attacks, including stabbing with blades, dodging, using elemental abilities, and more.
