Per KakaoPage’s latest post on the series as of this article’s writing, the Solo Leveling: Ragnarok webtoon adaptation is set to premiere on the platform on Thursday, August 1, 2024. It’s unclear what time exactly the series will premiere as of this article’s writing, but the date will most likely function off of the Korean Standard Time (KST) timezone in terms of date.

The sequel webtoon will be written by Daul, who is set to replace Chugong, the writer of the original series. Chugong has confirmed his support for Daul, saying that he still experienced the same emotions he felt when he first began the original series despite being uninvolved in its production. Chugong specifically stated that he’ll cheer Daul on, congratulating him on the start of this new story.

Artist JIN from REDICE STUDIO will illustrate the sequel. Former REDICE CEO Dubu, also known as Jang Sung-rak. Dubu sadly passed away on July 23, 2022 after suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage. Dubu was previously replaced in the franchise for a side story of the original webtoon published between January and May 2023. Author Chugong returned, but enlisted a new art team given Dubu’s passing.
