Netmarble released a Developer Note on April 26, 2024, addressing many issues and revealing the details of the Solo Leveling: Arise upcoming update. The company addressed two significant problems that have been a concern for players in the early access version.

First, the Gold required to replace the Artifacts will be lower than it was in the early access version, which has been a major issue. The resource's cost will be based on the Enhancement tier. Additionally, players will be able to get more Gold as a reward for completing Gate Missions than in the early access version.

These changes will significantly help all players swap Artifacts when required and experiment with them. Additionally, the developers are considering lowering the difficulty of accomplishing certain events.

These are only some changes based on player feedback. Other improvements are being worked out, and they will arrive in future updates.

Netmarble has upgraded the Faction of the Shield's ability for the new patch. The shield is a security system designed to detect and penalize malicious activities and ensure a fair gaming environment. It has been active since Solo Leveling: Arise's early-access launch.
