Considering the time cycle characteristics of "Edge of Tomorrow", "Edge of Tomorrow 2: Reincarnation of Life and Death" is likely to involve time travel. , Thus obscuring the concept of sequel and prequel. According to "Edge of Tomorrow", it can be speculated that the sequel will continue a large amount of time loop narration, and there may even be a time fork.
