“It will most likely be a character inspired by him or some of his favorite roles of the past,” said lead game designer Ion Hazzikostas.

The move comes days after Williams killed himself via hanging at the age of 63.

 

He was an avid gamer and a vocal fan of the World of Warcraft series and fans responded by starting an online petition at Change.org that has garnered over 10,000 signature.

Tributes and words of sympathy continue to pour in regarding Williams, whose wife said yesterday was suffering from early stages of Parkinson’s Disease at the time of his suicide.
