Netmarble, in partnership with developer Netmarble Neo, has injected a fresh dose of adrenaline into their action title 'Solo Leveling: ARISE' with the arrival of the new SSR hunter, Reiji Sugimoto.

Reiji Sugimoto enters the fray as a Wind-element stacker, favouring high-speed combat with his katana. He is a 'Condemner' who manipulates wind currents to pull foes into his reach. His kit includes 'Zanshin' for resetting his combat stance and 'Fast Blade - Extermination' to carve through enemies with blistering speed.

The update doesn't stop there; we are looking at a hefty patch. New chapters have been added to the Story Hard and Reverse Hard modes, and the 'Workshop of Brilliant Light' now features a 'Frenzied Arena' on Hard difficulty. They have also expanded artifact level caps, introduced four new artifact types, and merged Instance Dungeons and Closed Missions into a unified 'Closed Dungeon' system. Throw in a new guild boss, 'Manticore', a new shadow named 'Tank', and a skin parts system for Sung Jinwoo’s hair and face, and you have quite the comprehensive list of changes.

If you are looking to earn your keep, the 'Searching for Eternal Spring!' event is now live, offering plenty of loot for those willing to grind.
