Room of Swords is an isekai, action, sci-fi fantasy series created by husband-and-wife duo, Toonimated. The story follows Gyrus, a stranded astro-engineer from the future, who awakens in a strange, looping realm filled with monsters, magic, and warriors from across time. As he fights to survive and escape, Gyrus becomes entangled in a mystery that spans timelines and lifetimes. It's a story about trauma, transformation, and breaking the cycles that keep us trapped.
The series originally launched as a Webtoon Original on December 17th, 2017, and ran for five years, concluding its initial release on October 30th, 2022. During its run, Room of Swords garnered over 75 million views, 700,000+ subscribers, and maintained an average rating of 9.8/10, earning a devoted fan base around the world.
Now that its exclusivity period is ending, Room of Swords is being remastered and relaunched with new enhancements and surprises right here on November 8th, 2025!

Q: What if I fast-passed episodes on Webtoon? Will I still have access to those?
A: According to Webtoon’s policy, you should retain access to any episodes you paid for through Fast Pass. However, we don’t have control over how Webtoon handles archived content, so we recommend reaching out to Webtoon directly with any questions about your purchased episodes.
Q: Will all three seasons be available at some point?
A: On launch day (November 8, 2025), the first half of Season 1 will be available in its remastered form. After that, we’ll be releasing new episodes weekly as we continue enhancing and rebuilding the series one chapter at a time.
Q: Will it be free to read?
A: Yes! The full series will eventually be free to read. We also offer optional premium features, such as early access to upcoming episodes and exclusive bonus content, for readers who want to support the remastering process or dive deeper into the story.
Q: Will there be any new content or storylines?
A: Yes! As we revisit each episode, we plan to expand scenes, add new panels, and introduce additional story moments where it makes sense, and create bonus content as well. Some new stuff will get added retroactively as well, so keep an eye out for updates. Bear in mind that the scope of new material will depend on the project’s momentum, but we’re excited about the possibilities.
Q: Can I Still Read the Original Version Anywhere?
A: We’ve carefully archived the full original series, but whether, when, and how the original version is made available again is something we’ll determine in the future. The best way to stay in the loop is to subscribe to e-mail notifications or follow our Patreon (it's free!)
Q: I Saved All of the Original Webtoon Episodes; Can I Share Them Somewhere?
A: No. While the original version was publicly hosted on Webtoon for a time, it was never part of the public domain. We retain full rights to the series, and no one else may redistribute it in any form or on any platform. Personal copies made without permission are unlicensed and should remain strictly private.
As of October 30th, Room of Swords is no longer publicly available in its entirety until we re-release the episodes. At that point, it will still not be legally redistributable without our authorization, including on private servers or file shares.
We understand wanting to preserve something you care about in its original form, but please understand that sharing those files violates our rights as creators and directly harms our ability to fund and finish the remaster. We reserve the right to revoke access to our content and ban users across all channels and platforms if our copyrighted material is redistributed or shared without permission.
