Tomb Raider King’s anime adaptations will premiere in 2026, which is much earlier than I had anticipated—I had assumed it would happen in 2027. here is a detailed breakdown of what to anticipate from Jooheon Seo’s animated debut.
The Teaser Trailer & Studio EEK
Here is what we are aware of. The production is being handled by Studio EEK, who have already unveiled the first teaser trailer. I wanted to take in every detail, so I’ve already seen it about five times. I got real chills when I saw Jooheon Seo animated for the first time.

For those who haven’t read the manhwa yet (seriously, what are you waiting for?), Tomb Raider King is produced by Redice Studio, and it’s one of those series that just hooks you from chapter one. The plot centers on tombs, supernaturally endowed ancient relics, and a protagonist who is given another chance to make things different. It has adventure, fantasy, action, and pretty much everything else I enjoy in a manhwa.
Story & Plot: What is Tomb Raider King?
Since I started reading it, Tomb Raider King has been one of my favourite manhwa series. The idea is original; rather than the standard dungeon or gate system found in many action manhwa, we are given the opportunity to raid tombs filled with mythological and historical artifacts.
Jooheon Seo, the main character, is the type of protagonist I truly like. He is shrewd, brutal when necessary, and acts with obvious intentions. It’s really satisfying to watch him outwit relic users and make his way through the tomb-raiding world, and I’m eager to see how Studio EEK will depict his plots and conflicts on screen.
The relic system is what truly distinguishes Tomb Raider King from other series. Every artefact has a unique personality, history, and set of abilities. While some are openly antagonistic, others are cooperative. What could have been a simple action series is given a great deal of depth and humour by the interactions between Jooheon and the different relics he finds throughout the narrative.

My Hopes for the Animation Quality
To be honest, I’m a little anxious because Studio EEK isn’t the most well-known name in anime production. However, smaller studios occasionally put a great deal of passion into their work, and I hope that’s the case here. I’m cautiously optimistic because the teaser trailer seemed promising.
In the manhwa, the action scenes in Tomb Raider King are visually interesting because they use different relic powers in creative ways and have fast-paced fights. If Studio EEK can turn even half of that energy into smooth animation, this anime could be very good.
Release Date: Summer 2026
As of early 2026, with just a few months left, I anticipate seeing more promotional content soon, such as character posters and more trailers. I’m especially interested to see who is chosen to voice Jooheon. For his personality to come to life, that will be essential.
Before the anime comes out, you still have time to read the Tomb Raider King manhwa if you haven’t already. It’s worth reading, I promise. The art is amazing, the story moves swiftly, and it’s difficult to put down once you start.
As new episodes of the anime air, I will undoubtedly be writing about it, discussing how well the adaptation adapts the original work, and most likely obsessing over my favorite animated scenes.
