Netmarble is set to showcase 'Solo Leveling: Karma' at TGS 2026 to capture the attention of global gamers. The event will be packed with Solo Leveling content, ranging from on-site demonstrations to special stages featuring Japanese voice actors and top-tier influencers.

According to Netmarble and Netmarble Japan on the 3rd, Solo Leveling: Karma is a title based on the 'Solo Leveling' IP.

Players will experience the 27-year Monarch War—a period not detailed in the original series—from the perspective of the protagonist, Seong Jin-woo. The game features a variety of weapons, including daggers, greatswords, guns, bows, and gauntlets, with combat styles shifting significantly based on character combinations. It also incorporates the unique appeal of the roguelite genre, where players design new skill trees based on the effects acquired during each playthrough.

Netmarble plans to captivate visitors at TGS 2026 with a spectacular lineup of guests. On Sunday the 20th, starting at 2:15 PM, a cosplay show and a streamer battle will be held on the special stage at the booth.

The stage will feature Ban Taito, the voice actor for Seong Jin-woo in the Japanese animation, alongside popular local streamers Keiposen and Vodka, who will compete in a three-person time attack battle. Additionally, globally renowned cosplayers Iori Moe and Manaso will perform a cosplay show, perfectly recreating characters from the game.

A wide variety of on-site merchandise has also been prepared for booth visitors. All visitors will receive a specially produced fan, while those who participate in the on-site demonstration and survey will be given a cooling cloak featuring new illustrations. Furthermore, pouches and stickers will be provided upon completing missions, and participants in the time attack prediction event will have the chance to win a limited edition mouse pad through a drawing.
