Related to Solo levelinga popular South Korean manhwa that was recently adapted into an anime, Solo Leveling: ARISE follows protagonist Sung Jinwoo in a setting where fantasy dungeons and monsters appear on Earth – and as Sung discovers, he has the unique ability to “ascend.”

In advance Solo Leveling: ARISEAlthough the game's release date is May 8, 2024, many details, including game mechanics, playable characters, and the gacha system the game runs on, have been revealed through interviews, previews, and trailers. From behind Solo levelingThe widespread popularity that has skyrocketed with the recent anime adaptation, ARISE has quickly become one of the most anticipated games on the market – and like some other gacha games ARISE has also proven vulnerable to leaks, with details about the game's systems, weapons and bosses leaking online before release.

Solo Leveling: ARISE will release future content

Leakers have revealed upcoming weapons, bosses and more

Courtesy of leakers AlphaLeaker And arm genesis on X (formerly Twitter), several previously unknown details all aroundSolo Leveling: ARISEThe weapons, bosses and systems of were revealed before release. As with all leaked content, anything revealed before its official implementation in the game can change greatly, and some of the finer details are uncertain, but we follow the trend of leaks in other gacha games, such as: B. the one developed by HoYoverse. It's reasonable to assume that much of the leaked content will make it into the game in a largely similar state.

Particularly notable are the leaks of several SSR weapons or “relics.” Some of these are universal and can be used by any playable character, while others are tied to specific characters. Phoenix Soul, for example, presented by AlphaLeaker, is a fiery bow that appears to be exclusive to Sung and fires additional fire projectiles when fired. Another SSR weapon for Sung, the Skadi Pistol, is scheduled to be released after Phoenix Soul, although release dates are vague for now.

Other notable content leaks include multiple bosses, with many, such as Kaisel, Baran and Architect, being recognizable monsters/characters from the original source material. Primarily, The leaks about bosses and enemies are incomplete and textures are missing on models or unfinished art. Alongside these leaks, the inclusion of character skins has also been revealed, with AlphaLeaker indicating Skins for Sung Jinwoo, Cha Hae-In and Alicia Blanche. Currently, it looks like a skin for Sung will be available in a Battle Pass, while the Cha and Alicia skins will be available in a store.

As for other future content, leaks suggest that the game's story will span 18 chapters The final three chapters will be made available either at launch or shortly thereafter, and that players can replay story chapters on a harder difficulty level for additional rewards. Another function, “Reverse Story” will apparently allow players to play story sections as any playable characterinstead of Sung Jinwoo, who as the main character is of course the focus of much of the story.

Solo Leveling: Leaked Systems from ARISE

Leaks for ARISE include additional features and systems

Other leaks, aside from character, weapon, or boss details, have shed more light on the game's systems and mechanics. Above all, The leaked Gem feature apparently allows players to receive stat boosts and other bonuses by earning and using gems. So far, the exact numerical values ​​of gems and their general importance to builds are unknown, but a list of effects published by AlphaLeaker shows that they can affect stats such as Attack, Defense, HP, and Critical Chance. According to AlphaLeaker, gems are rewarded by “certain types of raids“However, further details are not known at this time.

Another leak, this time from armgenesis, details further system changes and additions that will likely make their way to the game in later updates. For the most part, these have to do with that ARISE's Artifacts, an equipment system similar to the systems of other gacha games like Genshin Impactwhere equipment items have set bonuses and random stats. Of particular note is the ability to re-roll stats via a system called Engravingand the ability to transfer layers between different artifacts.

Further details include resources for duplicating copies of already owned characters or weapons, allowing players to gain certain bonuses without having to explicitly draw the character/weapon again, a vague “Dimensional Enhancement” system for currently unknown upgrades, and a additional job, Monarch of Shadows: Rebel Leader, for Sung Jinwoo. It is expected that these systems will largely be available after the game's releaseand will likely be officially introduced in post-launch updates and patches.

Unfortunately, some leaks suggest that the game could be subject to heavy monetization, even when compared to other gacha games. The “Special Hunter Subscription Service,” as leaked by armgenesis, for example, apparently allows players to pay a monthly fee for special gacha pulling resources and daily in-game gifts. While these bonuses are not uncommon for gacha games and many of them also include monthly passes, ARISE is apparently set to block the automatic farming function behind the subscription as well as.

Similar to many other modern gacha games Solo Leveling: ARISE A lot of future content has been leaked, giving informed players an idea of ​​what the game's first post-release updates might include. Although leaked content is often still in development and therefore subject to change, it can still give players a good idea of ​​a game's future plans, which is particularly the case with gacha games Solo Leveling: ARISEcan be important for those who need to plan to spend limited resources.
