Squid Game Season 3: As Squid Game Season 3 comes on June 27, 2025, viewers across the globe are preparing themselves for another season of deadly games, shocking betrayals, and rollercoaster emotions. As the high stakes escalate, one question that everyone cannot help but think about is who makes it out of this round alive? While the series is likely to keep viewers guessing, some fan theories make sense.
Season 1 winner Seong Gi-hun is returning with a mission of vengeance to take down the organization inside out. Fans believe he can go undercover as a masked staff or game employee. If true, his survival chances are high, not just due to his intelligence, but also due to the possibility of his alliance with insiders who are willing to shut down the game from within.
Season 3 also introduces new players, the majority of whom introduce clandestine backgrounds and covert agendas. Reddit fan theories suggest some of these players are former employees or past champions seeded to test the integrity of the new games. Should that be true, their training and experience might render them effective and guarantee survival.
The Front Man, whose secret identity as Hwang Jun-ho’s brother was discovered in Season 1, could find his own comeuppance in Season 3. Fan theories propose an inner conflict that causes his downfall or redemption. Assuming Jun-ho is alive (another popular theory), a showdown between siblings would completely upend the power structure.
Since the heartbreaking death of Kang Sae-byeok in Season 1, followers are looking forward to stronger, more complex female heroines in Season 3. A few predict that one of the new female players will make it to the final round by using emotional intelligence instead of raw strength. TikTok rumors have even suggested that there is going to be a female revolution on the game itself.

Where brains, brawn, and a dash of luck will win the games, fan theories are on one agreement point—buddies will be key. Where individuals do not even trust themselves, those who become relationship experts, long-term players, and system interrogators may end up being the survivors. Season 3 can not only introduce a new winner, but also untangle the very darkness of the system.
