Ohhh heyyy nicee and dang this looks good. Kind of interesting that they would do this considering the webtoon has ended. I did not expect this music tho, but they're considering going for that DMC vibe :p.

Ooooohhh it's PC and mobile! Wow, I'll be impressed to see this running on mobile.

Also, Noblesse visual novel when :p.

Not gonna lie, while I doubt it will be a groundbreaking masterpiece, this is already far better production value than I expected opening the thread.

I was expecting it to look bad. Huh. I think Solo Leveling is all style and zero substance, like One Punch Man without it being funny, but an actual game could be neat.

That is real. Like, the game has a good chance to be better than the manhwa because, I hope, you are not as OP as in the manhwa.

Seems weird that they're releasing this after the manhwa has ended. Maybe a sequel of sorts may be on the horizon?

I highly doubt it's a gacha. What would there even be to gacha about? There's like no characters asides from the MC anyone even gives a shit about except for maybe the waifu.

It would just be like Sung Jinwoo with X summon, Sung Jinwoo with Y summon, etc.

I guess they could do weapon gacha but idk.

I hope the manhwa art team got paid big money for this property's licensing. They've carried this novel to the top with their talent even when it's a story that copied a lot of others out there and still being mediocre at best.

Although the action is accurate to the beginning part of the manwha, I think it would lean more into a dynasty warriors type gameplay as the story progressed imo

Not a bad looking game so far, hopefully that is all gameplay and not some CGI or something.

What do you mean no substance? Not every anime/series needs to have a deep story. Solo leveling is about powering up and intense fights as a series.. it does that great. One Punch Man is a gag based power series... SL isn't..

You just explained what no substance is lmao. It's just pretty lights and pretty pictures. It looks nice and that's all it has going for it.

Well, that actually looked better vs expectations. Will see. Novel wasn't bad at the start and kind of went to become a snooze fest / power trip by middle.

Well at least opm has memorable side characters each with their own abilities and gets their own spotlight. SL has none, unfortunately. It gets pretty boring and predictable when the MC has to save the day again and steamrolls everyone with little effort

SL has a few memorable fights..
MC facing 'Beru' in bug island, MC facing the monarch latter in the series, MC fighting USA's Top fighter, etc
. The choreography and Art is fantastic.

Again.. if you equate a good and deep story and its characters with substance then you're wrong since you're trying to speak objectively here when its just not true. There are series that depend heavily on the story and characters and then there are series that depend on fights, the MC getting more and more powerful through experience. The Fights, the art and the choreography is the substance here. Now if it doesn't do what its supposed to do well then you could say that it lacks substance and it just has nice art and all..

Solo leveling is a power fantasy and the MC's journey and his fights. It does it well. If you're not into power fantasies and fight based series with not a lot of attention to story and characters then you should look elsewhere..

New MC and new baddies in the not so distant future would be my guess. Perhaps something a little less high stakes than the monarch conflict.
In the side story epilogue, MC trains his son who inherited a portion of his powers to be his successor. In the end, they are off somewhere about to fight a new threat that is either from space or from a different dimension, I dont remember the specifics.

Why does this look more like how I expected Babylon's Fall to be than how that game seemingly turned out?

Old footage, but there hasn't been much updates apart from the character teasers below;

Still the main website is targeting in 2023, maybe it'll show up at TGS ? The anime is coming soon.

oh dear

edit: in my defense i posted that before the edit with like 837428374 character trailers added

The anime is coming soon.

speaking of which this makes the juxtaposition of the anime being 'localized' to be japanese all the weirder, unless they can keep up that difference in the various localizations of the game too

i.e. Choi is being introduced as a Korean guildmaster in this game, releasing around the same time as the anime
