When Does Solo Leveling Come Out? A Guide to the Release Timeline and What Fans Need to Know Solo Leveling, the wildly popular Korean web novel that has taken the global fantasy-action genre by storm, made its highly anticipated release a cultural milestone. If you're a fan or just curious about the journey of this gripping story, here’s everything you need to know about when Solo Leveling came out and what to expect going forward. ### Original Release Date: June 5, 2018 Solo Leveling was first published online on June 5, 2018, via Kakao Webtoon (formerly Webtoon Korea). Written by the pen name SIU, the series began as a debut project that quickly captured attention with its unique blend of intense combat, rich world-building, and a compelling underdog protagonist. Created from a single idea into a multi-season, fan-obsessed phenomenon, Solo Leveling has become one of South Korea’s most influential web manhwa. ### Global Breakthrough: Official English Launch While the Korean version launched in 2018, the English-language release didn’t follow immediately. F886 Games (now known as ** Noir Comics) brought Solo Leveling to international audiences with a scheduled global debut. Fans can access the English version starting June 5, 2019 — the exact one-year anniversary of the original debut — aligning symbolically with the series’ roots. This official Launch Day remains a key milestone celebrated by fans worldwide.
