Tomb Raider King has released a new main trailer and promotional visual ahead of its television premiere. The latest preview features the ending theme song “To Be Continued”, performed by the South Korean band QWER, while also introducing another important character connected to the world’s mysterious relic missions.
The animated adaptation of SAN.G’s action-fantasy web novel will begin airing in Japan on July 8, 2026. Crunchyroll has confirmed that it will stream the series internationally as it airs, bringing Jooheon Suh’s dangerous journey through supernatural tombs to viewers around the world.
New Trailer Previews “To Be Continued” by QWER
The newly released trailer offers one of the most extensive looks at Tomb Raider King so far. It presents the mysterious tombs, ancient relics and violent conflicts that define the series while previewing the ending theme “To Be Continued” by QWER.
The song accompanies scenes of Jooheon exploring dangerous ruins, confronting powerful enemies and using his knowledge of future events to gain control of relics before they fall into the hands of the people who betrayed him.
The title “To Be Continued” fits the story’s central theme of beginning again. Jooheon’s original life ends in betrayal and disaster, but his return to the past gives him an opportunity to rewrite everything that happened and create a completely different future.
Rather than accepting the role of an expendable tomb raider, he decides to use his experience to become the person controlling the relic world. Every successful expedition brings him closer to changing his fate and taking revenge on those responsible for his death.
Tomb Raider King Premieres on July 8
Tomb Raider King will begin airing in Japan on July 8, 2026. New episodes will be broadcast every Wednesday at 25:15 JST through Fuji TV’s B8station programming block.
Under the conventional calendar system, the late-night broadcast time means episodes will technically air during the early hours of Thursday morning in Japan.
- Premiere date: July 8, 2026
- Japanese broadcast: Fuji TV’s B8station block
- International streaming: Crunchyroll
- Ending theme: “To Be Continued” by QWER
- Animation production: STUDIO EEK
- Original creator: SAN.G
The anime joins the Summer 2026 lineup with a mixture of supernatural action, dungeon exploration, revenge and time travel. Its story takes place in a modern world transformed by the sudden appearance of ancient tombs containing objects with impossible powers.
New Promotional Visual Revealed
A new main visual was released alongside the trailer. The artwork places Jooheon and the central characters together while emphasizing the relics and supernatural threats surrounding them.
The visual carries the message that Jooheon intends to take everything, including the relics and the future itself. That statement reflects his determination to seize control of the timeline after returning fifteen years into the past.
Jooheon is no longer willing to serve wealthy relic owners or risk his life for employers who see him as disposable. Armed with knowledge of the disasters that are coming, he plans to reach every important tomb first and take the relics for himself.
The characters surrounding him represent allies, rivals and powerful institutions that will become involved in the global struggle for relic ownership.
Yuko Kaida Joins the Cast as Keira Clark
The latest announcement also revealed that Yuko Kaida will voice Keira Clark. The character is a general in the United States Army who is responsible for missions involving relics.
Keira’s position shows how quickly the appearance of supernatural artifacts changes international politics. Relics are not treated only as archaeological discoveries. Their abilities make them military, economic and strategic resources capable of shifting the balance of global power.
Governments, corporations and private organizations all want control of the most valuable relics. As a military commander involved in relic operations, Keira is likely to become an important figure in the larger international conflict.
Her involvement also expands the story beyond the personal revenge of Jooheon. The relic era affects the entire world, and the struggle inside the tombs becomes connected to national security, economic monopolies and military competition.
What Is Tomb Raider King About?
Tomb Raider King takes place in a world where mysterious tombs suddenly appear across the globe in 2025. Each tomb contains ancient relics capable of granting supernatural abilities to whoever successfully claims them.
The people who obtain the most powerful relics quickly gain enormous influence. Some create corporations and monopolies, while others use their abilities to control governments, markets and ordinary people.
Jooheon Suh works as a tomb raider for one of those powerful relic owners. He enters dangerous ruins, overcomes deadly traps and retrieves valuable artifacts, but receives little of the power or wealth created by his work.
His employer eventually betrays him and leaves him to die inside a collapsing tomb. Instead of reaching the end of his life, Jooheon awakens fifteen years in the past, before the tombs have appeared and before relics have transformed the world.
With complete knowledge of the future relic era, Jooheon immediately understands the opportunity before him. He knows where important tombs will appear, what dangers they contain and which relics will eventually become the most valuable.
Rather than repeating his life as another person’s servant, he decides to claim the relics first and rise to the top of the new world order as the Tomb Raider King.
Jooheon Suh Uses the Future as His Greatest Weapon
Jooheon’s greatest advantage is not simply physical strength. It is the knowledge he gained during years of exploring tombs in the original timeline.
He remembers the locations of valuable relics, the traps guarding them and the individuals who will eventually become major powers. This information allows him to prepare for events long before anyone else understands what is happening.
Jooheon also knows which people will betray him, which alliances will become dangerous and which apparently minor artifacts will later prove extremely important.
That experience makes him a far more calculating protagonist than a traditional adventurer. He rarely enters a tomb without a plan and is willing to manipulate rivals when doing so brings him closer to his goals.
Although revenge motivates many of his actions, Jooheon is also determined to protect the people who suffered because of his choices in the previous timeline. His second chance gives him an opportunity to correct old mistakes as well as punish his enemies.
Relics Can Change the Balance of Power
The relics found inside the tombs are objects connected to historical figures, legends and mythological stories. Each one possesses a different supernatural ability.
Some relics provide direct combat power, while others influence minds, create wealth, predict events or manipulate the environment. Their variety makes them valuable for far more than fighting.
A corporation controlling the right relic can dominate an industry. A military equipped with supernatural artifacts can overwhelm conventional forces. A politician possessing an influence-based relic can reshape entire governments.
This creates a world where tomb exploration becomes one of the most important professions on Earth. Tomb raiders risk their lives not only for treasure, but for objects capable of changing the future of nations.
Jooheon understands that controlling relics means controlling the people who want them. His goal is not simply to build the largest collection. He wants enough power and information to prevent anyone from using him again.
The Tombs Are Filled With Deadly Traps
The mysterious tombs are not ordinary archaeological ruins. They appear without warning and contain supernatural tests designed to kill or control anyone who enters them.
Some tombs require strength, while others depend on intelligence, negotiation or understanding the story connected to the relic inside. A person who approaches every ruin in the same way is unlikely to survive for long.
The relics themselves may also possess personalities or demands. Claiming one does not always guarantee complete control, and an artifact may reject or betray an owner it considers unworthy.
Jooheon’s previous experience gives him an advantage because he already knows many of the rules governing the tombs. However, changing the timeline can also create unexpected consequences, meaning his knowledge does not make every expedition completely predictable.
Ryoga Goriki Is Jooheon’s Japanese Name
For the Japanese adaptation, Jooheon Suh is also known as Ryoga Goriki. The character is voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya, whose performance must capture both Jooheon’s confidence and the anger created by his previous betrayal.
Jooheon is not presented as an innocent hero. His experiences have made him suspicious, ruthless and willing to deceive opponents. He understands that the relic world rewards people who act before their rivals have time to respond.
At the same time, his harsh personality is shaped by years of exploitation. He knows exactly what happens when powerful relic owners are allowed to establish monopolies without opposition.
His attempt to dominate the tombs can therefore appear selfish, but it is also a direct response to a future where a small number of people controlled almost everything.
Main Japanese Voice Cast
The Japanese version features a cast of well-known performers portraying Jooheon’s allies, rivals and other major figures in the relic era.
- Yoshimasa Hosoya as Ryoga Goriki and Jooheon Suh
- Saori Hayami as Irene Holton
- Junichi Suwabe as Taisei Oogawara and Taejoon Kwon
- Miyu Irino as Kotaro Yanagi and Jaeha Yoo
- Nobuhiko Okamoto as Sho Kureha and Seungwoo Oh
- Yuko Kaida as Keira Clark
The cast reflects the international scale of the story. Relic users emerge in different countries, and Jooheon’s journey brings him into contact with wealthy heirs, military officials, corporate leaders and professional tomb raiders.
Irene Holton Becomes an Important Ally
Irene Holton, voiced by Saori Hayami, is the heir to a powerful conglomerate. Her family’s resources place her close to the corporate struggle surrounding relic ownership.
Irene also possesses unusual powers of her own, making her more than a wealthy observer of the tomb era. Her abilities and family position cause powerful groups to take an interest in her.
Her relationship with Jooheon develops as he becomes involved in the events surrounding her family and the relic forces affecting her life.
Although Jooheon frequently approaches relationships strategically, Irene becomes one of the people whose safety and future matter to him beyond immediate profit.
Jaeha Yoo Can Restore Broken Relics
Jaeha Yoo, known as Kotaro Yanagi in the Japanese version, possesses an extremely valuable talent. He can repair relics that have been damaged or rendered unusable.
In a world where supernatural artifacts determine power, someone capable of restoring them is nearly as valuable as a powerful relic user. His skill makes him an essential member of Jooheon’s growing team.
Jaeha’s personality also contributes to the series’ humor. He does not always share Jooheon’s confidence or appetite for danger, but he repeatedly becomes involved in increasingly dangerous tomb expeditions.
Their partnership demonstrates that becoming the Tomb Raider King requires more than personally collecting artifacts. Jooheon needs specialists who can analyze, maintain and use the relics he obtains.
STUDIO EEK Handles Animation Production
The animated adaptation is being produced by STUDIO EEK. Seung Wook Woo serves as director and is also responsible for the series’ story coordination.
Hyun Joung Lee is handling the character designs and also serves as one of the chief animation directors alongside Hyung Jun Heo.
- Director and story coordination: Seung Wook Woo
- Character design: Hyun Joung Lee
- Chief animation directors: Hyun Joung Lee and Hyung Jun Heo
- Color design: Jee Sun Hwang
- Art director: Seung Chan Kang
- Sound directors: Gun Yoon and Kisuke Koizumi
- Music: Ju Young Kim
- Animation production: STUDIO EEK
The production must bring together modern cities, ancient ruins, supernatural creatures and relic abilities. Each tomb can possess a completely different visual identity depending on the history or mythology behind it.
The new trailer suggests that the adaptation will place strong emphasis on action, magical effects and the scale of the tombs while also preserving the darker atmosphere of Jooheon’s revenge story.
Based on SAN.G’s Web Novel
Tomb Raider King is based on the South Korean web novel written by SAN.G. The story later received a popular webtoon adaptation produced by REDICE STUDIO.
The manhwa adaptation is credited to Yuns, with artwork by 3B2S. Its visual presentation helped the series build a large international audience through digital publishing platforms.
The English edition is published by Yen Press, making the story available to readers outside South Korea before the animated adaptation’s international release.
The franchise combines several popular elements, including regression, supernatural artifacts, dungeon exploration and a protagonist using knowledge of the future to dominate a system that once exploited him.
Why Tomb Raider King Could Stand Out
The Summer 2026 season includes several fantasy and action titles, but Tomb Raider King has a distinctive modern setting. Its tombs do not exist in a distant fantasy kingdom. They emerge in the contemporary world and immediately affect corporations, governments and international relations.
The series also gives its protagonist a clear and aggressive objective. Jooheon does not simply want to survive his second chance. He intends to seize the future before his enemies can repeat the events that destroyed his original life.
His morally flexible personality may also appeal to viewers who enjoy protagonists willing to manipulate opponents and exploit their own advantages. Jooheon knows what the relic era will become, and he has no intention of playing fairly against people who betrayed him before.
At the same time, the story includes team building, political conflict and the mystery behind the tombs themselves. Even with knowledge of the future, Jooheon does not completely understand why the relics appeared or what force controls them.
Final Thoughts
Tomb Raider King is preparing for its July 8, 2026 premiere with a new trailer, main visual and another addition to its Japanese voice cast.
The trailer previews the ending theme “To Be Continued” by QWER, while Yuko Kaida joins the cast as Keira Clark, a United States Army general responsible for relic-related missions.
With Crunchyroll streaming the series internationally, viewers will soon be able to follow Jooheon Suh as he returns fifteen years into the past and begins taking every relic, opportunity and advantage that once belonged to his enemies.
For fans of regression stories, supernatural dungeon exploration and revenge-driven protagonists, Tomb Raider King could become one of the most notable action-fantasy adaptations of the Summer 2026 season.
