Robin Williams, who was found dead in his Bay Area home earlier this week, will be memorialized as a character in the online game “World of Warcraft” following an impassioned plea by fans.
The game’s lead designer, Ion Hazzikosta, announced Thursday at an event for “World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor” that Blizzard Entertainment would create a character in honor the late comedian, the Associated Press reported.
The announcement comes after at least 10,000 fans pledged support on an online petition onChange.org, asking for the video gaming company to memorialize Williams as non-player character in the “World of Warcraft.”
