Solo Leveling is a popular South Korean web novel and manhwa series that has been adapted into an anime, reaching new heights of popularity and attracting a fresh wave of fans.
It follows the iconic story of Sung Jin-Woo, the world’s worst-ranked hunter, who embarks on a quest to level up and soar through the ranks to become the strongest. Gaining the unique ability to level up on his own, he faces increasingly powerful monsters and uncovers dark secrets that could change the fate of humanity.
Over the years, Fortnite has teamed up with some of anime’s biggest franchises, including its first-ever anime crossover with Naruto, followed by collaborations with Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan, and My Hero Academia.
One of the most highly anticipated anime crossovers, long rallied for by the community, is also set to arrive according to a leak that claims a Demon Slayer collaboration is in the works.
