That is quite an inaccurate depiction of in-universe Abe you've picked
This is Abe as canon would have it. His arms have been mildly purple at best throughout the years. You can't really think he doesn't look quite... bizarre on the PC PowerPlay magazine?

The image I picked was taken from TOGG’s Rendered Art section of Abe’s Oddysee. Also from the same section:
And let’s not even begin to talk about Abe’s Exoddus, because hey look,
more purple arms and thighs.
In-game footage, even stuff taken from cutscenes, is not going to match up 100% with how Abe is “supposed to” look. I would put high quality rendered art above anything taken from the original games, mainly because rendered art is going to more closely match the “intended vision” of what the artists. And as the tech improves, so in-game characters begin to more closely match their pre-rendered designs.

The saturation in the cover picture is just really high for some reason. The colours seem to be right, otherwise.

That’s easy, brighter colors are more eye-catching and sell more magazines.
