Solo Leveling’s Anime of the Year Win Leads to Big Demand for Season 3

Fans Want a Season 3 Announcement More than Anything

Solo Leveling wins big at the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, taking home six awards from different categories, beating strong contenders like Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Kaiju No. 8, The Apothecary Diaries, DAN DA DAN, and Delicious in Dungeon for the Anime of the Year category. This win means so much for the entire Solo Leveling fandom, as this instantly gives them hope for the future of the series.

To this day, Solo Leveling season 3 remains unconfirmed, with no concrete release date or announcement coming from A-1 Pictures, Aniplex, or the original creator, Chugong, himself. Despite the obvious success of the second season, there has been no word on a third season installment. As a result, many fans are worried and concerned about the future of the series, especially with rumors suggesting that Solo Leveling season 3 may arrive two or three years from now.

Many fans believe that Solo Leveling should take advantage of its ongoing popularity and success rather than risk losing the hype without the announcement of season 3. However, the producers have recently revealed the difficulties that come with producing a single episode of Solo Leveling. It took them a lot of time, manpower, and hard work to produce a single episode, making it clear that they may need to push back the next season to meet the high expectations coming from the fans.

Why Solo Leveling Deserves a Season 3?

Sung Jin-Woo's Story Is Far from Over

The second season of Solo Leveling left many fans on the edge of their seats. As Jin-Woo emerges as Korea’s 10th S-rank hunter and the only one capable of clearing the Jeju Island dungeon break alone, anime-only fans have many questions that only a Season 3 adaptation could answer.

While these fans could turn to the Solo Leveling manhwa or the novel to find answers, the best way to possibly enjoy the series is to watch it unfold in Season 3. Questions about Jin-Woo's powers, the creator of the system, and the looming threat of the Monarchs will most certainly be explained next season.

Jin-Woo's story is far from over, as there are many more untapped story arcs in the manhwa, including the Recruitment Arc, Ahjin Guild Arc, and the long-awaited Double Dungeon Arc.

In most anime, it usually takes one or two years before a new season arrives. The announcement usually happens shortly after the final episode of the current season, especially if the series has immense popularity. There are also cases where new season announcements happen a week or a month after the anime finishes airing.

However, in Solo Leveling’s situation, based on the interviews and statements released by the producers, voice actors, and the people involved in the anime adaptation, it may take two or three years before season 3 is released. Despite the heavy and passionate support coming from the fans, Solo Leveling is still an anime series that requires a significant amount of time and hard work to produce.

With all this in mind, fans may want to look forward to a potential announcement later this year or early next year, hopefully confirming Solo Leveling Season 3. If so, then a possible release date may happen sometime in 2027 or 2028. For now, fans will have to wait for more updates in the coming months.
