Premise
In a world where mysterious tombs suddenly appear, containing relics with supernatural powers, Jooheon is betrayed and killed by his employer. However, he finds himself reborn ten years earlier, before the tombs first emerged.
Armed with his knowledge of the future and his skills, he sets out on a path of revenge against those who wronged him and to become the ultimate tomb raider by acquiring powerful relics.
The series blends action, adventure, and supernatural elements as Jooheon navigates dangerous tombs, encounters powerful foes, and uncovers secrets about the relics and their origins. His journey is marked by strategic battles, clever tactics, and a quest for both power and vengeance.
The Tomb Raider King anime will be produced by Korean animation Studio EEK. Their previous works include Game of Dice and LOVE, DEATH & ROBOTS.
While 2026 is still a long way ahead, there’s going to be a Guilty Gear anime titled Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers which will be airing in 2025.
