Season 3 will introduce another doll

In squid game In Season 2 Episode 3, Gi-hun finds a clever way to beat the Young-hee doll by showing how her motion detectors can only sense the movement of objects right in front of her.
To ensure that Gi-hun does not exploit this flaw in the next round of the “Red Light, Green Light” game, game organizers will likely place the Cheol-su doll behind the players. Cheol-su. The new doll would not only detect the players' movement from behind and compensate for the limitations of Young-hee's limited field of vision, but it would also confuse them by chanting the song “Green Light” and “Red Light” in a completely different sound. rhythm and tone than Young-hee.

Since Kyung-seok also lost his son, she empathizes with Kyung-seok. This raises the theory that No-eul shot Kyung-seok squid game season 2 finale but intentionally didn't kill him.

He does this to show Gi-hun that his actions have important consequences. Gi-hun doesn't know that Player 001 is the Front Man.

Fortunately for Player 007, he has the opportunity to learn from his mistakes when his mother almost dies during the Mingle game. Gi-hun was unable to save his mother in squid game season 1, but it seems likely that Park Yong-sik's story will be completed when he redeems himself by putting his life on the line for his mother.
There is a scene in squid game Season 2, where Park Yong-sik's mother tells him that he may not be affected by her death, but she will have nothing to live for if she loses him. Due to this, his death will end Jang Geum-ja's story on a bitter note. However, Jang Geum-ja may still find a new reason to live after Kim Jun-hee makes her his son's godmother.

A new set of players will join the games
Player count will be restored to 456
To show Gi-hun how powerless he is, the game organizers could restore the number of players to 456 and force him to compete with them again. Therefore, Gi-hun would find himself in a perpetual cycle of trying to save the contestants but it has failed to stop the endless cycles of violence and chaos. As the new contestants would also be desperate to pay off their debts, they would also vote in favor of continuing the game.
squid game Season 2's mid-credits scene also confirms that Season 3 will feature another round of the “Red Light, Green Light” game. Since the game has already been used for mass eliminations, it would make sense if more new players joined the cast in Season 3.
