While some fans even believe that Solo Leveling is dead, that couldn't be further from the truth. New leaks about a big upcoming Solo Leveling and Fortnite collaboration prove just how big the series has become. With such a large collaboration, there's no way A-1 Pictures is letting the series die. Solo Leveling is incredibly successful and will get new animated content eventuallyeither in the form of a third season or a theatrical release.

Major collaboration with Solo Leveling proves that the series is not close

• Solo Leveling has a bright future ahead of it

While it's true that the future of Solo Leveling seemed shaky after the conclusion of Season 2 last year, the fact is that it's still going strong.

Solo Leveling has seen huge success overseas, but despite that, the studio animating it seems very quiet. Already now, in 2026, there are still no official updates on the upcoming anime season for the seriesand it is very strange indeed.

But this Fortnite collaboration is definitely relieving some fans. After all, if Solo Leveling gets a big collaboration that some major series, like One Piece, haven't yet, it can only mean that the series will continue strong in the future with more animated content. Of course it is Solo Leveling has become too big to ignoreand new projects will definitely appear, perhaps sooner than fans expect.

While at the moment no future animated projects have been officially confirmed, it's clear that the series has two paths it can choose to take moving forward.

The first option, of course, is a third anime season, and that's what fans initially thought would happen sometime in 2026. Solo Leveling Season 3 was a much anticipated projectbut it has become clear that at least it won't be anytime soon. Since 2026 has already started, it is unlikely that fans will get a third season this year, especially when no statements have been made about it.

Best Manhwa Like Solo Leveling You Should Read

Solo Leveling features amazing fights, sensational progressions and incredible characters. Here are similar manhwa that embody these stories.

right now, it is more likely for Solo Leveling to get a movieespecially after the huge success of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. A production committee report was recently leaked for Solo Leveling, and it was revealed that the studio is considering a film adaptation instead of a third season. This movie is yet to be officially confirmed, but fans are expecting it to release in late 2026 or early 2027, if the report is to be believed. It is unclear what exactly this film would cover. It could either be original anime-only content, or continue to adapt the parts that would have made it into season 3.

Of course, even after the Solo Leveling movie or the third season, the story will not end. The studio will no doubt go on to adapt the rest of the manhwa and give Jinwoo's story a proper ending. That being said, fans can expect even more seasons and movies in the future, even after these initial projects have ended.

Solo Leveling will likely continue after the end of Jinwoo's story

• Solo Leveling's sequel being animated in the future is a huge possibility

• Creator Chugong could return and create new sequels or spin-offs

Solo Leveling has become so big that its success may extend beyond just Sung Jinwoo's main story seen in the novel.

As many fans know, Solo Leveling already has an official sequel, known as Solo Leveling: Ragnarok. This sequel follows the story of Jinwoo's son, Sung Suho. This story has already concluded in the web novel and has an ongoing manhwa. It could be the next step for the franchise after the conclusion of the Solo Leveling anime in the coming years. If Solo Leveling gets new animated content every two years, it won't be long before a Ragnarok adaptation drops. Fans would definitely love to see the studio delve into this sequel as well.

Of course, there is also the possibility that Chugong, the original creator of Solo Leveling, will be back in full force with a new series. His return could come either with a new sequel or with a spin-off series — both are possibilities that he himself has hinted at before. With so much going on, it's quite clear that Solo Leveling is establishing itself as a huge franchise that will run for the next decade, if not even longer.

Solo Leveling has two seasons out right now, one with 12 episodes and the other with 13, for a combined episode count of 25 episodes available to watch right now. The series can be streamed on Crunchyroll for fans to enjoy while they wait for more news about the third season. There has been no major announcement about a third season so far. Fans can get more Solo Leveling content via the Manhwa.
