Solo Leveling fans can now see the rest of the characters in a new trailer.

Crunchyroll unveiled a second trailer for the highly-anticipated anime adaptation of Solo Leveling at their panel at Anime Expo 2023.

The second trailer introduces fans to more of the Hunters they can expect to see as well as the voice actors for the cast.

Jinwoo is the breadwinner of his family and despite being the weakest E-Rank Hunter in the world and suffering a multitude of injuries due to him being physically weak, he has never wavered from his resolve to provide for his family. In the trailer, he meets the daunting obstacle of the double dungeon where a strong foe greets him. As Jinwoo begins to level up, he meets more Hunters including the chairman Go Gunhee and Cha Hae-In.

Produced by A-1 Pictures, Shunsuke Nakashige will direct Solo Leveling. Noboru Kimura will oversee the project as the head writer with Tomoko Sudo as the character designer and Hiroyuki Sawano as the composer.

Solo Leveling, the original novel written by Chugong and the webcomic adaptation by DUBU, remains one of the most popular action webcomics. The story follows Sung Jinwoo’s journey of becoming the strongest Hunter in the world after he accepts the System’s offer in becoming a Player following his near-death experience. The webcomic ran from March 2018 to December 2021.

After it was announced Solo Leveling would receive an anime adaptation, DUBU expressed excitement at seeing his and Chugong’s work come to life but unfortunately the illustrator succumbed to a brain hemorrhage due to chronic illness. A series of side stories, revolving around Jinwoo’s son, with a group of artists known as “DUBU’s disciples” illustrating released on Jan. 27, 2023 in honour of the late artist.

Solo Leveling will air next winter. The webcomic is available on Tappytoon and Tapas.
