The animated adaptation of Tomb Raider King has received a new update to warm up for its premiere. Kadokawa released the uncredited opening sequence of the animated series based on the popular South Korean webtoon created by SAN.G, Yuns, 3B2S , and P-crush.

The video highlights the opening theme song “SHOW DOWN,” performed by the South Korean girl group QWER.
