The title will air in July through major broadcasters in Japan including Fuji TV and Kansai TV. In South Korea, it will be available via Aniplus and global streaming platforms. A promotional video (PV) was released on the Japanese official website that opened on Jan. 16.

The original "Tomb Raider King" is a KakaoPage hit that made the million-page list as both a web novel and webtoon. The webtoon has logged 500 million cumulative views in South Korea and overseas.
