Tomb Raider King Anime Premieres July 8 on Crunchyroll

What was announced

The anime adaptation of Tomb Raider King will begin streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll on July 8, 2026. Crunchyroll announced the premiere date in late May 2026, listing the series as a simulcast that streams alongside the Japanese broadcast. That timing places Tomb Raider King among the earliest premieres of the summer 2026 season.

The series is the first anime adaptation of the Korean webtoon created by SAN.G, an action fantasy that has built a large following through its print and digital releases. Until now the story has lived only on the page, so the July premiere marks its screen debut.

What we know

The official Kadokawa Anime channel has stepped up promotion ahead of the launch, releasing a second trailer and, most recently, a textless opening video. Those posts confirm that the opening theme, titled "SHOW DOWN," is performed by the Korean girl group QWER. According to the cast announcement shared when the project was revealed, the main voice cast includes Yoshimasa Hosoya, Saori Hayami, and Junichi Suwabe. Reporting from Anime News Network, which matches our own catalog listing, puts the run at 11 episodes.

Crunchyroll will carry the series as it airs in Japan, where the broadcast begins in the late-night hours following July 8. No separate window has been detailed for additional dubs at the time of writing.

What the story is about

In the world of Tomb Raider King, mysterious tombs appear across the globe, each holding a relic that grants its owner supernatural abilities. Jooheon is a tomb explorer, excavator, and raider who is betrayed by his employer and left to die at the hands of a powerful new relic. He instead wakes 15 years in the past, before any tombs or relics emerged. Armed with knowledge of the future and driven by revenge, he sets out to claim the relics before anyone else can. Our catalog files the series under action, adventure, and fantasy.

Why fans are watching

Much of the early conversation frames Tomb Raider King as the next major action fantasy webtoon adaptation in the mold of Solo Leveling, a comparison that both fans and outlets have leaned into. Whether it reaches that height is for the episodes to decide, but the combination of a revenge-driven lead, relic-powered combat, and a summer 2026 Crunchyroll slot has made it one of the season's more closely watched debuts.
