Overview

  • Aniplex producer Sota Furuhashi suggested that Solo Leveling Season 3 may not return until the 2028 Olympics, though the final decision lies with A-1 Pictures and producer Atsushi Kaneko.
  • The first two seasons required over 220,000 animation frames, and each new episode takes 10–12 months to produce, underscoring the complexity of the project.
  • Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini noted that delays are partly due to the studio's involvement in other flagship projects and the need to find an appropriate production window.
  • Fans had expected a quicker turnaround after the less-than-year gap between Seasons 1 and 2, but producers emphasize prioritizing quality over speed.
  • No official release date has been announced, leaving fans to speculate on the timeline while awaiting updates from the production team.
