Summary

• The trailer for Squid Game 3 shows Gi-hun at his lowest point, determined to end the deadly games after Season 2’s cliffhanger
• New terrifying trials, including a maze-like game and “Jump Rope,” are teased
• The third season promises a definitive and emotional end to Gi-hun’s story and releases on June 27

The global phenomenon that is Squid Game is hurtling towards its gripping finale and Netflix has just released the final trailer for Season 3, offering the most extensive look yet at the deadly games and intense confrontations awaiting audiences. Following closely on the heels of Season 2 (which premiered in December 2024), this final installment promises to tie up all loose ends and deliver a resolution to the tormented saga of Player 456, Seong Gi-hun.

The trailer opens with a palpable sense of desperation from Gi-hun, voiced through his haunting question to the masked soldiers: “Why did you keep me alive? Why did you let me live?” This sets the tone for a season where Gi-hun, still reeling from the bloody cliffhanger of Season 2 and his failed rebellion, finds himself at his lowest point. His primary objective is clear: to finally put an end to the brutal games. Viewers are offered tantalizing glimpses of brand-new, terrifying trials. The trailer teases a complex maze-like game, hinting at intricate team dynamics and dire consequences for those who pick the wrong side, as seen with allies drawing opposing colors. A new “Jump Rope” game, first teased in Season 2’s post-credits scene with unsettling giant dolls, also makes a chilling appearance, promising more psychological and physical torment.

Crucially, the final trailer intensifies the long-awaited confrontation between Gi-hun and the enigmatic Front Man. A pivotal moment sees the Front Man unmasking himself, asking Gi-hun, “Player 456, do you still have faith in people?” This direct challenge sets up what is expected to be a cerebral battle of ideals between the two central figures, culminating in the revelation of the Front Man’s true identity to Gi-hun – a moment fans have clamored for since Season 1. Returning alongside Lee Jung-jae as Gi-hun and Lee Byung-hun as the Front Man are key characters from Season 2, including Wi Ha-jun as Hwang Jun-ho, who continues his relentless search for the elusive island. The narrative will also delve into the Front Man’s past, revealing how Hwang In-ho transitioned from a former winner to the brutal overseer of the games.

Having been filmed back-to-back with Season 2, Squid Game 3 is poised to deliver a seamless, high-octane conclusion. It’s designed to be the definitive end to Gi-hun’s story, promising more brutal, cruel, and emotional depths than ever before. As the countdown to June 27 begins, the final trailer assures fans that the series will indeed “shock the world one last time.”
