Netflix just dropped a fresh teaser for the next installment of "Squid Game: The Challenge," and the streaming service's competition looks fiercer than ever. Set to DJ Khaled's "All I Do is Win," this brief new teaser trailer gives us another look at some of the trials that our next batch of 456 contestants will face.

Across the footage, you can spy competitors taking on more of the iconic K-drama's challenges, and it culminates with one ominous line from a "Squid Game: The Challenge" contestant: "I promised myself going into this game that there would be no line that I wouldn't be willing to cross."
