Solo Leveling season 3 still doesn’t have a release date, and right now the franchise looks set to come back first with the 2027 movie Solo Leveling: Beyond the System. The anime itself may not return until 2027 or even 2028. If you’re looking for that same progression-fantasy rush in the meantime, these five anime should keep you busy.
When Solo Leveling premiered in 2024, it turned into a worldwide Crunchyroll hit. A lot of that came down to the sharp animation, the nonstop pace, and the way Sung Jinwoo goes from the weakest guy in the room to someone absurdly overpowered.
Start with The Rising of the Shield Hero, where Naofumi gets betrayed early and slowly builds himself into a monster, with season 4 set for July 2025. Then there’s Kaiju No. 8, where Kafka’s hidden power flips his place in the world almost overnight. Shangri-La Frontier scratches the game-system itch with its mechanics, boss fights, and constant skill growth, and Shangri-La Frontier season 3 is planned for 2027. Arifureta takes a darker, more revenge-heavy route, with Hajime coming back as a ruthless force after Arifureta season 3 started in October 2024. And That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime eases up on the grim side a bit, swapping some of that edge for nation-building and a steadier kind of growth.
None of these shows is a one-to-one match for Solo Leveling, but if you like watching underestimated characters turn into unstoppable forces, this is a solid list to pull from. You can stream Solo Leveling and most of these series on Crunchyroll, depending on where you live.
