Indiespelet TowerFall Ascensions tar ställning i debatten kring genus och Gamergate och hedrar nu Anita Sarkessian med en egen karaktär i spelets kommande expansion Dark World.

I Dark World kommer bland annat tio nya bågskyttar att finnas med varav den enas utseende vagt är baserat på hur Anita Sarkeesian ser ut. Det meddelar utvecklaren Matt Thorson.

"Anita's work has been an inspiration to the TowerFall team. Her 'Tropes vs. Women in Games' video series gave us a valuable new lens through which to assess our character designs. TowerFall is about bringing people together, so it's vitally important that the cast of playable characters makes everyone feel invited to join in.

Simply put, this wouldn't have occurred to me if not for Anita, and feedback from players has reinforced how important it really is. We're very excited to immortalize Anita in a small way, as the alternate Last of the Order."

Spelet finns för PS4 och PC och släpptes i juni 2013. Vill ni kolla in fler av spelets nya karaktärer kan ni göra det på spelets Tumblr.
