The Last of Us Part 2 was a controversial game. Not because of its gameplay—because let's be real, that was fantastic. No, it was because no human being in the history of mankind could get as jacked as Abby. Especially during a zombie apocalypse with little to no access to proper protein. But it looks like the developers at Naughty Dog are doubling down on the Abby experience, regardless of fan complaints, to achieve shoulder blades so defined they make you question your entire existence. And that’s why The Rock himself is stepping in to play Abby in The Last of Us Part 3, with her physique now 100% based on his bulging muscles.
“We wanted to achieve a level of muscle that’s not just never before seen in a woman, but never before wanted in a woman. When you put the PlayStation controller in the player's hands, if you take away the setting, ideally, the player shouldn’t be able to tell if they’re playing as Abby or Kratos. They should look almost identical,” said director and apparent eunuch, Neil Druckmann.
The Last of Us Part 2 did little to explain the lore behind Abby’s absurd gains, other than briefly showing a gym she may or may not have been a member of. But that’s not the only mystery here. The biggest question remains: where does someone get so much protein in a zombie apocalypse? There’s no pre-workout, no protein powder, and meat would be scarce. So unless Abby is eating her colleagues, how did she achieve the physique of Captain America on a diet of canned beans and expired apocalypse energy bars?
The Last of Us Part 3 will focus much more aggressively on this part of the story, as Druckmann is tired of having to explain his bodybuilder kink to people in person. "This time, we’re shifting the story away from Ellie. You’ll actually spend most of the game playing as Abby’s iPod, choosing different songs for her to do sit-ups and push-ups to. The better tracks you play, the more gainz you unlock. The rest of the game is stealth missions where you raid pantries for all the protein you can find. Don’t worry though, no matter how you do, you’ll end up absolutely shredded. We made sure of that with The Rock,” Druckmann explained.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has had little to say about the surprise announcement, other than that he’s been training “harder than he ever has” to bring the character Druckmann has wet dreams about to life. The Rock also mentioned that the sex scene featured in the new game will be a challenge, but he is “100% ready to make people even more uncomfortable than they were in the last game."
