World of Warcraft has announced plans to include a tribute to Robin Williams after a petition popped up online to add an in-game memorial tribute to the avid WoW fan.

An NPC named Robin has been found. WoWhead, asite that scours the game code for new additions, picked up three instances of the tribute in a recent update for the Warlords of Draenor beta build - a male human, a female human, and a blue genie.

This model has been used before as a boss in a dungeon, but the idea is that this version of the model will most likely transform into other Robin Williams' characters.

Spoilers: Robin Williams joins up.

This guy got a lot of love last month when the internet found his cache of great impressions inspired by the late actor.

Remembering Robin Williams

In response to the change.org petition pictured above, a Nintendo spokesperson said, "Robin Williams was loved at Nintendo. Our hearts go out to his entire family, and especially to Zelda Williams who we've worked with multiple times. We appreciate the outpouring of support from the gaming community, and hear the request of fans to honor him in a future game. We will not be discussing what might be possible for future games during this difficult time, but we will hold our memories of Robin close."

This petition comes on the heels of another fan petition that successfully got World of Warcraft to consider making Mr. Williams an NPC in the game.
