The Last Of Us 2 Actor's Return To Work Sparks Rumours Of Abby DLC

Fans are hoping a recent social media post from The Last of Us Part 2 actor Derek Phillips could indicate DLC might be on the cards.

"There are many fans hoping that a recent social media post by actor Derek Phillips of The Last of Us 2 points to a possible Abby DLC for the game.

For some time, fans of The Last of Us 2 – the Naughty Dog masterpiece available exclusively on PS4 consoles – have been hoping for good news about the possible arrival of new content for the game. Now, a recent social media post by actor Derek Phillips may have rekindled hopes for an alleged DLC in the pipeline.

Phillips, who played Abby's father and surgeon in the Naughty Dog title, shared a snapshot of himself on Twitter on his way back to work. Wearing his motion-capture gear, the actor simply stated: "Back to work!!!"

Naughty Dog has already stated that no DLC is planned for the sequel, although we know that a standalone multiplayer game will arrive in the future. However, that hasn't stopped fans from speculating, and many people assume that the tweet refers to some unannounced Abby DLC coming to The Last of Us 2.

Abby isn't exactly the most beloved character from the latest game of Naughty Dog, and players have flocked to the tweet in hopes that a DLC for the character will never arrive.

Further fuel on the fire for the potential Abby DLC was thrown directly by Neil Druckmann, creative director of The Last of Us 2 and vice president of Naughty Dog, liking Phillips' tweet.

 

[Kuranghi]

Look at his freaky eyes!

 

[Mister Wolf]

When it rains it pours.

 

[Warnen]

Maybe it's last of us 3 and Ellie regains her mind runs over Abby with a golf cart

 

[Senua]

 

[TintoConCasera]

Wonder how this would sell compared to the main game, now that everyone knows what the game is about and after the false advertising in the trailers previous to launch.

 

[Kaiserstark]

Neil Druckmann already said that Naughty Dog will not make a story DLC.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

I took my "Joel dies medicine" like a good soldier and I deserve some Joel DLC.

 

[Umbral]

I bet it will sell well. She's the most popular character since Mario.

 

[Fake]

 

[ksdixon]

Are you fucking kidding me? Abbey DLC?
This is just pissing on TLOU1 fans now.

Make the MP and then fuck off, you hack.

 

[Snakeeyes646]

No thanks

 

[Killer Sakoman]

Her long and stretched campaign almost broke the game. She doesn't need a DLC. Also the franchise could benefit from a long hiatus . The talented people in Naughty dogs can give us something new and incredible.

 

[Krappadizzle]

 

[Salz01]

Please no. If anything I hope it's just with Ellie. No other character from TLOU2. (Including Dina)

 

[Salz01]

Actually if Ellie had a dog companion with mechanics around that. I would buy it in an instant.

 

[Boss Mog]

Just what everybody wants, playing more as Abby.

 

[MiguelItUp]

If there WAS story DLC it'd make much more sense to focus on someone that ISN'T Abby, lol. I mean, she made up majority of the game.

Maybe he's helping with mocap for the multiplayer? I dunno, this feels like a stretch regardless. He's an actor, this could literally be for anything. Unless I'm missing something and that specific outfit or image points to ND.

 

[dead monkey uk]

Neil Druckmann already said that Naughty Dog will not make a story DLC.

Was this in the same interview where he said you do not have to kill any dogs in Part 2.

 

[gow3isben]

Only good news if they plan to kill her off.

Her and that little shithead kid of hers.

Up yours cuckman!

 

[dDoc]

Quick to jump the shark assuming its Abbey DLC. Its probably MP related.

Unless Druckmann wants to double up vs the fans of the original

 

[LordCBH]

But Abbey fucking sucked.

 

[MrS]

mmmmmmmmm yes please

Something that sets up TLOU3, I hope

 

[Woggleman]

I liked Abby but this will not go over well. They should do a Joel and Tommy prequel that takes place right after the outbreak. Give a little olive branch to the people but if he is like me I would just double down on the direction the game took. I loved the original and love the sequel even more so Neil did not insult every fan.

 

[Spukc]

Day 1
DAY 1
DAY 1
DAY 1
DAY ONE!

 

[Connificent]

Your mission is to get buff again and grow a penis.

 

[BluRayHiDef]

I personally really like Abby, apart from her moment of psychopathic rage. She's soft spoken and compassionate yet rugged. Also, she has a pretty face:

 

[ISubZBR]

NO, THANKS

 

[bender]

Maybe we'll get a QTE for bashing in Joel's face with a golf club.

 

[Senua]

Maybe we'll get a QTE for bashing in Joel's face with a golf club.

take that patriarchy!

 

[DeeDogg_]

Yay who can forget...that character!

[THE DUCK]

So how about a proper PS5 enhanced version?

 

[Grinchy]

The one complaint I always read about this game is that there just wasn't enough of Abby!

 

[Classicrockfan]

The Abby after you beat the game ,or before?

 

[Ravix]

No one besides shill activists I mean "journalists" consider TLOU2 to be a masterpiece. The game has objectively horrible writing.

 

[Hostile_18]

I trust Naughty Dog what ever they want to do I'm game.

 

[yurinka]

Let's hope Abby doesn't appear again in any other game or DLC, and instead make TLOU3 focused on Joel.

 

[Business]

Why does it have to be DLC for TLOU2 and not a new game. ND uses the same actors all the time.

 

[GymWolf]

More killing to do with female rambo is ok in my book

 

[Reckheim]

Now this is one salty thread. Love it.

 

[BrentonB]

Good. Forget the haters. Double down. Part 2 was a masterpiece.

 

[Bryank75]

It was very ballsy of them to get rid of the good characters and replace them with unlikable or bland ones but there is only so much white bread you can eat!

 

[Clear]

Isn't it more likely to be something for the Factions MP thing? I mean it is THE announced TLOU2 project, after all.

 

[MrS]

instead make TLOU3 focused on Joel.

And how da fuq do you expect that to happen?

That would be pandering and fan service. It isn't going to happen.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

Awful news. Naughty Dogs HQ will explose from all the rage. No one wants that pig shit unless you can torture and dismember her all kinds of ways.

With a prequel. It's the only way to salvage this series.

 

[Birdo]

Abby hunts down Ellie after learning that she replaced her missing fingers with dildos.

 

[TintoConCasera]

You have to love how divisive this game is. It's either utter shitty crap, or the second coming of Jesus Christ.

You TLOU2 hatin motherfuckers really have a literal hard on for Joel, don't you?
