The long-awaited Tomb Raider King anime now has a confirmed release date. The adaptation will begin airing on July 8, 2026, on Fuji TV's "B8station" slot and other channels. Along with this announcement, a second key visual and a second promotional video have been released.
In the new visual, the main character Ryu Jaeha (Liao He) appears with a defiant smile. The trailer showcases action-packed scenes and also debuts the ending theme song performed by the group QWER. QWER, a South Korean girl group, steps into the anime world with this song, which complements the energetic atmosphere of Tomb Raider King.
Another addition to the voice cast is experienced voice actor Yūko Kaida. Kaida will voice the character General Clark. Having previously worked on productions such as Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece, her involvement in this project has excited fans. The previously announced main cast includes Shunsuke Takeuchi as Ryu Jaeha and other characters.
Tomb Raider King is a popular South Korean manhwa written and illustrated by 3B2S and San. The series follows tomb raider Ryu Jaeha as he travels back in time to change his fate, amassing millions of readers worldwide. The anime adaptation is produced by studio Felix Film and directed by Kazunori Mizuno. The earlier released first visual and trailer highlighted action and treasure-hunting themes.
This adaptation holds great significance for manhwa fans, as Tomb Raider King is one of the most successful works in its genre. The anime's debut in the summer season once again demonstrates the influence of Korean comics in the Japanese animation world. In the coming days, new character reveals and possibly an opening theme announcement are expected. We will see how Tomb Raider King is brought to the screen when the first episode airs on July 8.
