*Solo Leveling* has captivated the anime community, surpassing even *One Piece* as the most reviewed anime on Crunchyroll and securing 13 nominations for the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards. Nearly a year following the debut of its first season, Crunchyroll has announced a significant physical release for North American fans. Both a standard and a limited edition Blu-ray of *Solo Leveling* Season 1 are now available for preorder, set to release on July 22.
Each edition contains all 12 episodes of the inaugural season, along with a variety of special features. However, the limited edition steelbook stands out with additional *Solo Leveling* merchandise. Priced at nearly $30 more than the standard Blu-ray, the limited edition becomes a more attractive option due to substantial discounts available at the Crunchyroll Store, making the prices of both editions effectively comparable.

*Solo Leveling* follows the gripping journey of Sung Jinwoo as he scales through a mysterious "System" that selects him as its only player. The first season, aired in early 2024, spans 12 episodes that adapt approximately 45 chapters of the original manhwa. The subsequent second season, which concluded in March, has further boosted the popularity of this anime adaptation.
Amazon lists the preorder for *Solo Leveling* Season 1 at the full price of $90, but the Crunchyroll Store offers an exclusive 25% discount, reducing the cost of the limited edition Blu-ray to $67.49. This price is even lower than the standard edition, which is currently listed on Amazon for $69.99. Both versions are scheduled to ship on July 22.
