When Robin Williams passed away last week, there were a lot of calls for tributes and lasting homages to the actor and comedian. While there were a few different real world tributes proposed, like the bench he sat upon in Good Will Hunting having a statue of him built upon it, there were also a lot of petitions for digital tributes since Williams was an avid gamer.
One call came from World of Warcraft fans, as Williams was known to be a big fan of the MMO and it looks like Blizzard has come through for them. Found hidden in the Warlords of Draenor beta built includes information on three characters all linked to a single entity: Robin the Entertainer.
It looks like each guise will represent a different one of Williams' famous characters, with a male and female (postulated by some to be Mork and Mrs Doubtfire) and a third, a Djin, which is suggested could very well be the Genie that is perhaps William's most iconic role, especially for younger generations of fans.
It's not clear at this time whether they will be separate characters, or if perhaps Blizzard will cycle through them at different times or places.
It seems like a touching tribute however, one that I'm sure Mr Williams would be pleased with.
