They're not sure when, but it looks like 2018-19 release, that's just my guess.
Still though, I'm looking forward to seeing them again, hopefully they'll cover
the Battle of Verdun (most likely in flashback). Also hopefully they'll have
more of Rita Virtaski, she's an awesome character for sci-fi.
Can't wait!

“Tom Cruise was actually the one who supplied the idea for a follow-up story, and it’s his idea being given over to the newcomers of the franchise–Joe Shrapnel and Anna Whitehouse, who will be writing the sequel’s screenplay.” - www.themarysue.com/edge-of-tomorrow-sequel-is-happening/
I’ll take two guesses at what Cruise’s idea is:
1) The Mimics have (had? will have?) a second invasion if (when?) the first one fails.
2) Or Rita’s story before she meets Cruise. Emily Blunt, in character as Rita, said that Brendan Gleeson (General Brigham) sent her to the insane asylum in one of her past lives, so we could see that. And Noah Taylor (Dr. Carter) was working on a plan that we know would defeat the Mimics, except Brendan Gleeson fired him in every one of his past lives.
Or as the theme song in the Japanese version of the movie says: “This is Not the End”

I loved the original, will probably watch the sequel (prequel?), but I don't think it really needs any more to the story.

I get your meaning. It kind of reminds me of Inception. I loved the characters and
the story so much, I wanted more.
But what's that old saying; always leave them wanting more.

Quote:There is always hope that the next movie can have the same character arc that Tom Cruise went through -- he started as a cowardly weasel and ends as a well trained hero -- but it is Emily Blunt that evolves from weakling to strong warrior.

There is a dividing line that Edge of Tomorrow 2 can easily trip over and fall on its face to become a mindless Michael Bay-type action vehicle that is all empty spectacle focused around explosions, shooting and mass destruction – and certainly the climactic assault on the ruins of The Louvre with a downed plane does approach something of this in the first movie.
Let us all hope that Edge of Tomorrow 2 keeps the big spectacular action movie as only an element happening in the background and clearly suborned to the story that takes place in the foreground about Rita evolving into a super warrior with a really big sword.
We can always hope for a second movie that still understands the capacity for scene transitions. And another story that propels you forward with rapid, acute development. And another story that cares very little for overt and unnecessary adherence to the 3-act structure and instead focuses on getting us through each scene with a real sense of purpose for both emotion and plot. But my hopes might be too high for Hollywood. The next writers might have no idea what made the first movie great, so they just add more explosions to compensate for what is missing in their story.

I love watching Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow, but I can’t tell how many times I’ve seen it.

That character definitely will not be in the sequel, but Rita Vrataski might be.

Major Bill Cage: [while in training] Stop! Wait, wait, wait, wait! Stop! Wait a second, wait a second! I've been thinking... I mean, this thing is in my blood. So maybe there's some way I can transfer it to you.
Rita Vrataski: I've tried everything, it doesn't work.
Major Bill Cage: I mean have you tried... you know... tried ALL the options.
Rita Vrataski: Oh, you mean sex? Yeah, tried it.
Major Bill Cage: ...how many times?
Rita Vrataski: Alright...
