After the heart-wrenching story of The Last of Us Part 2, Naughty Dog has its work cut out for it in crafting a follow-up that can live up to its predecessor's expectations. Although the game was controversial for several reasons, the addition of Abby in the unique role of both an antagonist and secondary playable character added depth to the story and gave players another perspective to experience the game. As bizarre as it may sound, this role has given Abby the potential to become the Shadow to Ellie's Sonic in future entries in The Last of Us series.
