Netmarble has dropped a new update for Solo Leveling: ARISE, and this time it brings a fun crossover with the popular K-pop girl group (G)I-DLE. Players can now dive into the game and recruit MIYEON and SHUHUA as special playable hunters, along with enjoying a bunch of new in-game events and rewards.

MIYEON enters the scene as an SSR light-element fighter, equipped with her signature weapon, “The Battlefield’s Guiding Star.” Her fighting style leans heavily on swordplay and her ultimate move, “Star Recital,” turns stored MP energy into a flashy, hard-hitting slash.

SHUHUA, on the other hand, brings a different flavor. She’s an SSR water-element assassin who shines in close combat, using her orbs to slice through enemies. Her ultimate, “Harmony Catharsis,” taps into the spirit of a wolf to unleash a powerful attack.

Players can get their hands on both characters for free just by playing during the event. The special Collaboration Pass lets fans unlock MIYEON and SHUHUA by completing event missions and story quests. And yes, there are more goodies to grab—additional copies of the characters, event currencies, and exclusive items are all up for grabs.

According to Netmarble, other fun additions include the “i-dle Hunter Rate Up Celebration! Lucky Wheel,” where players can try their luck crafting exclusive weapons, and a daily login event titled “Star on the Battlefield! Check-In Gift,” offering regular rewards just for showing up.

The update also brings something for the more seasoned players—Story Expert Mode. This tougher challenge is built for those with a total power level of 1.2 million or more. Completing all its chapters can score players up to 35,000 Essence Stones. Plus, a new dungeon introduces two bosses, Incaro and Helder, who show up together in a double trouble mission called Encore.

On top of all that, balance adjustments have been made to certain hunters, and artifact removal is now totally free. The update also adds “Proof of the Strong” to the Distorted Sanctuary’s Workshop of Brilliant Light.

Solo Leveling: ARISE is based on the hit webtoon and lets players relive Jinwoo’s journey, level up, build unique combat styles, and summon their very own “Army of Shadows” with the iconic command: Arise.
