Netmarble Unveils Major Solo Leveling: KARMA Reveals At Anime Expo 2026

Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, unveiled a new wave of details for their upcoming game Solo Leveling: KARMA during Anime Expo 2026, including an expanded look at the game’s original storyline, the debut of the all-new Corrupted Hunters, a brand-new trailer and key art, and the surprise casting of acclaimed actor Troy Baker as the Monarch of Destruction.

The panel titled “Solo Leveling: KARMA – Expanding Universe” took place on July 4th at the JW Marriott Diamond Ballroom in Los Angeles, where Aleks Le, the English voice of protagonist Sung Jinwoo, joined members of the development team to introduce fans to the game’s expanded universe.

During the presentation, Netmarble revealed additional details about Solo Leveling: KARMA’s original storyline, which explores the untold 27-year war between Jinwoo and the Monarchs. Following the events of the original series, Jinwoo enters the Dimensional Gap after using the Cup of Reincarnation, embarking on a prolonged conflict against the Monarchs that has never been depicted before.

Fans also received their first look at the Mutated Hunters, who are the original enemies created by the Monarchs to eliminate Sung Jinwoo. Gameplay footage showcased Jinwoo battling these formidable foes while teasing the emotional conflict that arises as familiar faces return as enemies.

Created exclusively for Anime Expo 2026, brand-new key art and a promotional video were also unveiled. The artwork features Solo Leveling: KARMA’s original version of Sung Jinwoo alongside Antares, the Monarch of Destruction, the Mutated Hunters, and additional original characters unique to the game. The trailer concludes with a teaser hinting at another major reveal coming this September.

One of the biggest surprises during the panel was the announcement that acclaimed actor Troy Baker will voice Antares, the Monarch of Destruction, in Solo Leveling: KARMA. Although Antares has previously appeared in promotional materials for the game, this marked the first official reveal of his English voice actor.

Unable to attend Anime Expo in person, Troy shared a special video message with fans: “I really do love the show, and I’m freaking out. I’m proudly stepping into the shoes of the Monarch of Destruction, the King of Dragons, Antares.”

Aleks Le also treated attendees to a live dubbing performance using an in-game story sequence that recreated an intense confrontation between Sung Jinwoo and Antares. Attendees were also treated to a first look at new game footage, giveaways, a Q&A session, and a trivia contest where the winners received exclusive posters signed by both Aleks Le and Troy Baker.

Solo Leveling: KARMA is currently in development as a roguelite action RPG for mobile. Featuring isometric hack-and-slash combat, players combine different weapon types, buffs and combat upgrades to create unique builds and experience a different style of battle with every run.

A full recording of the “Solo Leveling: KARMA – Expanding Universe” panel is now available on the official YouTube channel.

Following the event, Netmarble is also hosting a giveaway on the official X account for fans in North America from July 6th through July 12th, with five winners receiving a collaborative poster signed by Aleks Le and Troy Baker.

The Alters: Last Variable Official Gameplay Trailer

The Alters: Last Variable is an expansion to The Alters, in which Jan Scientist awakens from cryosleep with a singular purpose: to solve the mystery of the Oasis. Launching July 13th on all platforms, this 20-hour expansion deepens the game’s personal survival mechanics and thought-provoking sci-fi narrative – qualities that earned the original a DICE Award for Strategy/Simulation Game of the Year and a BAFTA nomination for Best Narrative.

Years have passed since Jan Scientist refused to leave the planet. The world has transformed around him. And he realizes what he’s always feared: this work cannot be done alone. So he begins creating again – versions of himself shaped by different expertise. A Geologist. A Biologist. A Chemist. A Physicist. Together, they cover every possibility that needs to be studied.

Across years-long planetary cycles, Jan must Terraform barren sectors into habitable zones, extract and refine exotic substances, and unlock research tiers to push the boundaries of scientific understanding. Yet discovery comes at a cost – the planet responds with escalating threats: earthquakes, radiation surges, and the passage of time itself. Field Labs offer the given Alters refuge to conduct research during surface expeditions, but ageing without cryosleep’s protection remains inevitable.

As his team struggles under the weight of differing philosophies—each convinced their own vision of science is correct – Jan faces an impossible choice: will they fracture under the pressure, or conduct research that could define a legacy?

The Alters: Last Variable launches July 13, 2025, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S:
  • The next story focuses on Jan Scientist(s): Jan Scientists, with their perfectly aligned minds, can offer the expertise needed to unravel the phenomenon of the Oasis.
  • Explore new regions and terraform them: Each transformation shifts the landscape, spawns new resources, and awakens the planet’s defensive mechanism – more frequent earthquakes, severe radiation waves, and other threats.
  • Expand underground and survive cycles: Build in different soil types, construct new components, and research new modules like the Cryosleep Chamber, which will buy you more time and let you witness the long-term effects of your scientific actions.
  • Develop new tech and set field labs: Each planetary cooldown offers a brief window to explore a dramatically changed surface, and Field Labs introduces new assignments for alters to continue their work while you cryosleep.
