Developer Naughty Dog recently released a documentary peeking behind the scenes of the divisive action-horror sequel, where we get some insight into Abby's development as a character and how the team shaped who she would eventually become. One central point of discussion frequently circles back to Abby's bulkier physique, which contrasts her with series protagonist Ellie and countless other heroines in video games.
