Tomb Raider King Brings High Stakes Dungeon Raiding to Crunchyroll This July
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
The hit Korean webtoon Tomb Raider King is officially heading to Crunchyroll on July 6, bringing a high-stakes dungeon crawling revenge story to the platform following the massive success of Solo Leveling.
The anime adaptation wave for hit Korean webtoons is rolling forward at full speed. Following the massive global success of Solo Leveling, Crunchyroll has officially announced that Tomb Raider King will premiere on July 6. The series is based on the popular web novel and subsequent web comic that concluded in 2023, pulling in nearly ten million digital views through Tapas during its run. While the title might initially trick casual scrollers, this has nothing to do with Lara Croft. Instead, it is a high-stakes dungeon crawler about betrayal, time travel, and powerful relics.
The story follows Jooheon Suh, an adventurer who makes a living raiding mystical tombs created by gods. After his former employer betrays him and leaves him for dead, Suh is sent back into the past with a second chance at life and a heavy appetite for revenge. Armed with future knowledge of where the most powerful artifacts are hidden, he sets out to plunder the tombs first and reshape the balance of power. The newly released trailer showcases large scale CGI action and features the opening theme song Showdown by the band QWER, giving fans a clear look at the production style.
Behind the scenes, the series boasts an impressive creative lineup. Studio EEK is handling the animation production with director Seung Wook Woo, whose resume includes key animation work on major titles like Death Note and One Punch Man. Sound direction is in the hands of Kisuke Koizumi, known for Chainsaw Man, while veteran voice actors Yoshimasa Hosoya and Saori Hayami are set to star. As major platforms continue to mine hit webtoons for adaptation material, this summer premiere shapes up to be a major watch for fans of modern fantasy progression fantasies.
