If you have questions about what happened to Abby at the end of the game and what her ending might mean for the future, we’ve broken down some of the key moments in the final act of the game.Ībby and Ellie exist as reflections of each other for most of the game, both trapped in a cycle of violence that won’t end until one of them is dead - or the cycle is broken. Just people who need to deal with what they’ve done in the course of this grim story. By the end of the game, there’s no clear winner. And while the conflict does eventually reach a gruesome conclusion, things aren’t quite so clear cut. Joel’s death at Abby’s hand is the game’s most shocking scene, but what happens after this inciting event sets off a chain reaction that leads Ellie and Abby to a violent confrontation in post-apocalyptic Seattle, and it’s one of the bloodiest tales of revenge ever put in a video game. Her name is Abby ( played brilliantly by Laura Bailey) and the first thing you watch her do in the game is kill Joel, one of the most beloved characters in the series. The biggest twist of all? The second playable character who ends up sharing top billing with Ellie.

Not only does the game’s ending leave a lot open to interpretation but it also features quite a few big twists throughout its 20+ hour story campaign.
