Solo Leveling has, unsurprisingly, been a huge hit ever since its first season dropped back in 2024. The series has only gotten more popular since, with the release of Season 2. Now, however, the series is at an impasse. Solo Leveling Season 3 has yet to even get a confirmation, and fans are reasonably concerned about the future of this series. With Solo Leveling Season 3 nowhere in sight, fans are looking at other great anime series to fill the gap, and Chinese anime might just be the place to look.
Solo Leveling's Sung Jinwoo Has Been Dethroned By A New Anime Character
Jinwoo is a popular character, but he has been dethroned by this other main chracter.
Lord of the Mysteries is currently the biggest Chinese anime, and the reviews are absolutely amazing. Fans should definitely give this unique series a watch, even though it’s quite different from Solo Leveling.
Solo Leveling Is Great, But Chinese Anime Are Taking Over
- Lord of the Mysteries Is Dominating The Market
- Lord of the Mysteries Already Has Its Second Season Confirmed
Solo Leveling was all the hype for quite a while when Season 2 was airing. Its popularity was driven by the anime, but also by being fairly controversial, especially as the series won big at the Crunchyroll Awards 2025. In fact, the fact that Solo Leveling won Anime of the Year is so big that fans are still talking about it at the end of the year. Nevertheless, now, Solo Leveling has a shaky future, which worries many fans. There has been no word on Solo Leveling Season 3 as of late. At this rate, Solo Leveling season 3 might be greatly delayed. In the meantime, fans should check out Lord of the Mysteries, which has been getting Chinese anime on fans’ radar. Just like Solo Leveling was big for anime based on Korean manhwa, Lord of the Mysteries is big for Donghua.
It Might Be Time To Say Goodbye To Solo Leveling Season 3, And Welcome Something Even Better
Solo Leveling season 3 isn't coming, and fans can look forward to this series instead.
Lord of the Mysteries is not that similar to Solo Leveling, but its hype is equally real. Its first season was widely acclaimed for its incredible animation and story. Its success was so big that its second season was already confirmed. Lord of the Mysteries Season 2 was confirmed for 2027, and fans definitely can’t wait for it. While Solo Leveling Season 3 takes its sweet time, fans can instead turn to Lord of the Mysteries. Even though they're different, fans will definitely find it to be a series worthy of sticking with.
When Will Solo Leveling Season 3 Drop?
No Release Date Or Confirmation So Far
Solo Leveling fans have many questions about Season 3, but the biggest one is definitely concerning its release date. For now, Solo Leveling season 3 hasn't been announced. This is concerning, and seems to indicate that fans shouldn’t get their hopes up for a 2026 release. More realistically, 2027 or 2028 seems to be a more likely release date for Solo Leveling. Fans will have to wait and see if the studio drops any kind of announcement.
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 awaiting any more news concerning the third season. For fans who can’t wait for season 3 to come out, checking out the manhwa might be a great option.
