Game developer Netmarble has launched a collaboration with the girl group I-DLE for its mobile game Solo Leveling: Arise, the company announced Thursday.
Netmarble released an update on Thursday that includes two new hunter characters inspired by I-DLE members MIYEON and SHUHUA.
Each character comes with unique combat abilities within the game and is now available to players.
Gamers can also enjoy new content, including a new “expert” difficulty level in story mode, which offers up to 35,000 magic crystals upon full completion. Other additions include new bosses, the removal of artifact unlock costs, and balance adjustments for existing hunters. More in-game updates are available, with detailed information provided directly to players.
To celebrate the collaboration, several in-game events are currently being rolled out, along with limited-time-only special events.
Solo Leveling: Arise is a game adaptation of the hit web novel and webtoon Solo Leveling (2016–2021), which has amassed over 14.3 billion views worldwide. Since launching 10 months ago, the game has reached 60 million users globally and won the Grand Prize at the 2024 Korea Game Awards.
The girl group I-DLE, consisting of MINNIE, MIYEON, SOYEON, YUQI, and SHUHUA, debuted in 2018 with the song “Latata”. The group released its latest EP album “WE ARE”, featuring the title track “Good thing”, this past May. The album sold over one million physical copies within a week.
