Robin Williams to be remembered in World of Warcraft game

Robin Williams will reportedly be featured as a gaming character in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game, World of Warcraft.

An online petition was created in order to pay tribute after Williams' death where World of Warcraft's creators, Blizzard Entertainment were asked to pay an in-game tribute to the actor, Contactmusic reported.

The game's lead designer Ion Hazzikostas has said that a character will be based either on the late 63-year-old actor himself or one of his many memorable roles.

World of Warcraft is known for paying tribute to fans of the game that have passed away, regularly with in-game statues or non-playable characters.
