Following the latest news about the upcoming second season of the hit anime series Solo Leveling, Crunchyroll has announced that it has acquired North American and select international theatrical rights for the season 1 recap film, Solo Leveling -ReAwakening-.
-ReAwakening- will be a cinematic fan experience that includes a special sneak peek of the first two episodes of the second season ahead of its January 2025 premiere!
Solo Leveling is adapted from the best-selling Korean web novel written by Chugong, which was then later adapted into a webtoon and manhwa with illustrations by DUBU.
“Over a decade has passed since a pathway called a “gate” which connects this world and another dimension suddenly appeared, and people with superhuman powers called “hunters” have been awakened. Hunters use their superhuman powers to conquer dungeons inside the gates to make a living, and Sung Jinwoo, a hunter of the lowest rank, is considered the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind. One day, he encounters a double dungeon, a high-level dungeon hidden inside a low-level one. In front of a severely wounded Jinwoo, a mysterious quest window pops up. On the verge of death, Jinwoo decides to take on the quest, which makes him the only person who can level up.”
The series is animated by A-1 Pictures, with motion graphics by Production I.G, and directed by Shunsuke Nakashige. Additional staff credits include music by Hiroyuki Sawano and TOMORROW X TOGETHER, character design by Tomoko Sudo, and monster design by Hirotaka Tokuda.
Solo Leveling -ReAwakening- will hit theaters in the United States and Canada on December 6, courtesy of Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment.
