The final chapter of Squid Game is getting closer, and the newly released teaser has already created a buzz among fans. Social media platforms are flooded with theories about Gi-hun's fate, Jun-hee's pregnancy, Hwang Jun-ho's quest to find the Island, and more.

However, there's another intriguing detail in the Squid Game Season 3 teaser that many might have missed. The clip hints at a new round in which players might have to eliminate their rivals to survive.

As seen in the teaser, a massive gumball machine is dispensing red and blue balls. Later, the players are seen wearing red and blue vests, and Gi-hun is on the red side. When he moves forward, there's a timer behind him, and if you look closer, there's a dead body too.

The dead body is of a player from the blue team, and the timer also hints that they have limited time to finish the task. So, does that mean the new round will involve killing each other in Squid Game Season 3?

It might be possible. Since the Front Man has successfully crushed Gi-hun's rebellion in season 2, expect more brutality and twists. This upcoming chapter will serve as the finale, concluding the highly acclaimed Korean drama.
