Solo Leveling: Arise has finally dropped its first major update since its global release, which features the brand-new SSR hunter character Alicia Blanche, Sung Jinwoo’s new SSR weapon Skadi, and tons more.

Netmarble launched Arise worldwide on May 8, 2024, and just over 20 days later they have released a whole heap of new features. These include new hunters, weapons, items, modes, events, costumes, as well as some highly-anticipated bug fixes.

The French Water Mage SSR rarity hunter Alicia Blanche is the star of the show, who joins with her own SSR-exclusive weapon The Witch of the Snowstorm. However, Jinwoo has also received an exclusive ice-themed SSR weapon to get your hands on.
