The anime world has been captivated by *Solo Leveling*, which has surpassed *One Piece* to become the most reviewed anime on Crunchyroll. With 13 nominations for the 2025 Anime Awards, *Solo Leveling* continues to gain momentum. Nearly a year after 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 be released on July 22.
Each edition contains all 12 episodes of the first season along with a variety of special features. However, the limited edition steelbook goes a step further with additional *Solo Leveling* merchandise. Priced at nearly $30 more than the standard Blu-ray, the limited edition's cost is significantly reduced through discounts at the Crunchyroll Store, bringing it close to the price of the standard edition.

*Solo Leveling* follows the journey of Sung Jinwoo, chosen by a mysterious "System" to embark on a power-scaling adventure. The first season, which aired in early 2024, covers approximately 45 chapters of the original manhwa. The subsequent second season, which concluded in March, further boosted the anime's popularity.
While Amazon lists the limited edition Blu-ray at a full price of $90, the Crunchyroll Store offers an exclusive 25% discount, lowering the price to $67.49. This makes it cheaper than the standard version, currently priced at $69.99 on Amazon. Both editions are expected to ship on July 22.

**From IGN's Solo Leveling Season 1 Review:**
"The first season of *Solo Leveling* brings gaming mechanics to animation, with a thrilling power fantasy that understands the tediousness of experience farming, the fun of gaining a new level and skill points, and the thrills of facing down a boss."
