Anime Expo 2026 just delivered one of Crunchyroll’s biggest showcases yet, and fans in the Peacock Theater lost it the moment Aleks Le walked on stage. The English voice of Sung Jinwoo confirmed what everyone was hoping for: Solo Leveling: Beyond the System is officially in production. This all-new theatrical film picks up right where Season 2 left off, animated once again by A-1 Pictures — the studio behind Sword Art Online — and produced alongside Aniplex, Netmarble, and Crunchyroll.
But that wasn’t the only reveal that had the crowd buzzing.
Crunchyroll ‘s Biggest Announcements At A Glance

Ghost of Tsushima Legends also had its moment, with Crunchyroll unveiling first-look character designs for the samurai-era adaptation of the hit PlayStation game. Director Takanobu Mizuno leads the project, with genre veterans Gen Urobuchi and Satoshi Maejima handling the script — a pairing that should excite anyone who followed the franchise’s cinematic tone.
In a genuinely unexpected crossover moment, Dave Grohl appeared via video message to announce that Nirvana’s “Breed” will serve as the opening theme for the anime adaptation of The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn’t a Guy At All, launching early 2027.
Why This Showcase Matters
Between a long-awaited Solo Leveling continuation, a major game-to-anime adaptation, and a stacked lineup of new and returning series like Overgeared and Magical Buffs, Crunchyroll is clearly positioning 2027 as a landmark year.
