Solo Leveling fans have a lot to look forward to. In 2027, we're getting Solo Leveling: Beyond the System, which was announced earlier this year. Netflix is also developing a live-action series, and several video games are in various stages of development. Although the second season of the anime has already aired, Beyond the System aims to keep us updated with storylines following season two.

It turns out that's not the only thing up the creators' sleeve. Now, based on new information directly from the official publisher, fans should mark their calendars for September, as something is coming sooner than next year for the series [via InvenGlobal].

According to new information straight from mobile publisher Netmarble, Solo Leveling: Karma will be present at Tokyo Game Show (TGS) in a big way. Karma is a gaming adaptation of the series and covers "unknown territories" not covered in the source material, plus a new cast of characters alongside the core heroes. Sung Jinwoo is going to play a prominent role in the story, as well as Chae Hae-In, Go Gunhee, and Choi Jong-In.

On September 18, it'll be part of the daily TGS festivities, with folks dressed as characters from the show (Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-In are confirmed). If you're heading out to Japan later this month, that's on the "Cosplay Show and Streamer Battle Stage."​​​​

On September 20, fans will get an even bigger surprise. Sung Jinwoo's voice actor (Taito Ban) will be present, and will compete with streamers Bodoka and K4sen on stage in a Time Attack Battle for three players. In other words, they'll play the game in front of a live audience, trying to beat each other and get the best clear time. If you're there, you might score a free mousepad.

Of course, TGS wouldn't pass up a chance to sell some merchandise to fans, so you can pick up stickers, pouches, and hand fans at the official booth. If you play through the entire demo and take the survey, you'll also get an "illustrated cooling cape."

If you're a Solo Leveling fan and are going to TGS, stop by the booth for some goodies. If not, Solo Leveling: Karma will eventually be released either later this year or in 2027, when you can try it out for yourself. Netmarble hasn't given us an exact date yet, but that may change once TGS rolls around.
