The Last of Us 2: A nod to Abby in Jackson reveals clues to an alternate script

The Last of Us Parte II continues to hide guides and references in its scenarios, which players continue to investigate months after its debut in Spain and around the world exclusively for PS4. The last detail they have found is that Abby’s name appears on the list of survivors living in Jackson, the city where we started the story. If you have played the title, you will know that this detail is the least striking. It was discovered by the YouTube account Caitlin, and you can take a look below:

Abby in Jackson, the alternate history of The Last of Us 2

The video begins with Ellie walking the streets of Jackson, the first location in the game that we can explore at our leisure. It is then that the protagonist approaches an NPC who is holding a clipboard with a list of names. If we zoom in on this document, we can discover that in the middle of the page appear the names of Abby Anderson and Manny Alvarez. The question fans are now asking is this: Why are Abby and Manny on a Jackson listing?

Caitlin suggests that it was simply a resource and that Naughty Dog left it there forgotten thinking about the players who like to find this type of detail … or it could be due to the alternative script that Neil Druckmann had initially drawn up for the game. game, and that in the end they ended up discarding. In that version of the story, Abby and her gang infiltrated Jackson to find the best time to get rid of Joel, after the first six hours of departure.

At first, Abby was planned to be in Jackson with her band

Naughty Dog, however, ended up discarding this option. In the first place, it seems that it would have been too slow a start for the game; And secondly, we suppose that it would have been much more difficult to redeem Abby. Meanwhile, the team already has the first sketches for what could be the third installment in the saga.

In turn, the HBO series seems to start filming this summer, with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey leading the cast as Joel and Ellie. Production will end in June 2022 in order to cover all seasons as it happens in the original title. “The most ambitious and shocking game of Naughty Dog with which he surpasses himself again”, we wrote in our analysis of the sequel.
