The Last of Us Part II is long overdue for players to continue their journey from the first game with new characters and factions. One of the new characters introduced in the game is Abby, a fierce soldier for the WLF.
Introduced in the opening moments of The Last of Us Part II, Abby’s character is shrouded in mystery as she and her group search for someone just outside Jackson. Her character was first introduced to fans of The Last of Us in the second trailer for the game, as her then unnamed character fought a mysterious cult.
She immediately made quite an impression on fans, as her incredibly muscular build and fierce personality cast an impressive figure cast. The second half of The Last of Us Part II is dominated by their presence, and players have often wondered how old their character was during the events of the game.
How old is Abby in The Last of Us Part II?
In the first act of the game, Abby is saved by Joel and Tommy, but unknown to the couple, it was Joel that Abby had been on the hunt for.
Her motivations for her brutal torture of Joel were revealed in a flashback where we see her as a teenager with her father, who was eventually murdered by Joel in Firefly Hospital at the end of the first game.
Abby was still in her teenage years during the flashback, and given that her flashback was from four years ago, it can be deduced that she is somewhere close to Ellie’s age in The Last of Us Part II.
In a podcast with Greg Miller, Neil Druckmann stated that Abby is almost the same age as Ellie during the events of The Last of Us Part II. The 15:40 mark is where he indicates Abby’s age.
Players have often wondered if Abby was older than Ellie given her massive frame and stature. However, with the information presented in the game and Neil’s statement, it can be deduced that Abby was about 20 years old, roughly the same age as Ellie, who is 19 during the events of The Last of Us Part II.
