Tomb Raider King: Endline Plot Continues Seo Joo-heon’s Journey
The original Tomb Raider King follows Joo-heon Seo, a betrayed tomb raider, who was transported 15 years into the past with the knowledge to claim powerful supernatural relics. The narrative centers on Joo-heon’s vengeful journey to become the Tomb Raider King.
According to Kakao's early materials, Tomb Raider King: Endline installment is designed to pick up after the original story, continuing the protagonist’s journey in the future. In Endline, Joo-heon is recognized as the Majesty who saved the world, and the peaceful dynamics shift as he confronts himself from another world.
The multiverse saga brings several rival Majesties from different worlds trying to ascend to godhood, and Joo-heon is required to fight them, as his future daughter disappears and an SS-class relic intervenes.
The companion anime, which debuted this Summer, was produced by Studio EEK and directed by Seung Wook Woo. Crunchyroll is streaming Tomb Raider King internationally from July 8.
The Endline expansion follows the success of the original Tomb Raider King, which concluded in 2023 after surpassing 500M views for the webtoon. Whether Endline can replicate the original’s audience numbers will be clearer as the story continues.
