The new trailer for Squid Game 2 reveals new games and terrifying teasers

Player 456 is back in the game, but this time he has a plan. That appears to be what is being touted in the new trailer Squid game 2the highly anticipated seven-episode second season of Netflix’s biggest series of all time. Last time we saw 456 (The Acolyte(Lee Jung-jae) was the last survivor of the games but vowed to bring them down. This season we see him – somehow – come back into it and now use his previous knowledge for good. But will the others trust him? Let’s watch the new trailer and find out.

What stands out most about this second trailer is that we finally see a few of the new games. We see the usual red and green lights from the first season, but also something with rainbow circles on the floor, as well as a giant carousel surrounded by doors. Any ideas?

It’s probably bad for 456 that he doesn’t know about these new games, but that’s to be expected. The trailer also shows how he is escorted somewhere by the game masters and how there is a showdown with the person in charge himself. They were waiting and ready for him. Additionally, we see footage of the players fighting each other – always a frightening prospect – as well as 456 playing possum when one of the guards comes by to check on him. Is he alone? Are there others with him?

We know that Squid game 2 is only the second act of the entire story, so we suspect that the seven episodes arriving on December 26th will only solve part of the mystery. But it’s a sequel we’ve been patiently waiting for for a long time, and we can’t wait to come back.
