The Last Of Us 2: 10 Most Shocking Moments
6. Abby And Owen Sex Scene
Around the halfway point of the game, players get the chance to learn more about Abby, her crew and the reason why she wanted to kill Joel in the first place. Through more flashbacks, it’s revealed that Abby and Owen are former Fireflies, and that Abby’s father was the head surgeon Joel killed at the end of the first game to save Ellie.
Players also get to learn more about the relationship between Abby and Owen. After the Firefly outpost in Salt Lake City was disbanded, Abby, Owen and the rest of their crew settled in Seattle and joined the Washington Liberation Front. It’s also during this period that Abby and Owen become more romantically involved, despite Owen’s relationship with another member of their crew, Mel.
All the bottled tension between Abby and Owen eventually blows over when they have a fight in the aquarium, before having sex. The scene takes many players by surprise, especially when you take into consideration Sony's history of censoring sexual content in other games.
One has to wonder what Naughty Dog had to do in order for Sony to allow this scene in their game.
