Alice in Borderland is an adaptation from the original manga and my understanding is that it's pretty faithful although leaves out some details (like the King of Spade's motivation or the joker character). Season 2 essentially ends with the end of the manga (except more details of the joker), so unless the show runners want to create new plots for a whole season around the joker, there shouldn't be a season 3. The thing about how characters act/talk is not uncommon in manga.

Given the ending, they definitely seem to want to leave the door open for a season 3, but don't expect to get one.

Could you give me spoilers on the motivation of the King of Spades though? They teased that in a pretty annoying way.

Weird! Maybe it's a regional thing, though the message was what I said, nothing about a location. I'll check the channel, thanks!

To be fair the manga also left out in a way that a sequel could happen. And I think there was even a one shot set in the future.

I haven't read it but what about the sequel manga, Alice on Border Road ?

Hadn't heard of that. Based on https://aliceinborderland.fandom.com/wiki/Alice_on_Border_Road it seems that it's by the same author but it's not clear if it's actually the same universe or not, but it seems to be a separate story from Alice in Borderland.
