The development team at Blizzard announces that it plans to launch a new patch for its MMO World of Warcraft that will allow those who use the Engineer profession to craft the emblem of the Bad Robot Productions studio headed by J.J. Abrams.

The developers state in an official blog post that, "Movies represent the combined imaginations of talented writers and visionaries, artists and operators, editors and producers, that can culminate in an awesome cinematic experience."

Blizzard says that J.J. Abrams needs to be honored for the way he has rebooted Star Trek and the work he has done on television series like Fringe and Lost.

The director and producer is also working on the next installment in the Star Wars franchise.

Once Engineers in World of Warcraft create the Bad Robot pet, any player in the game will be able to own and use one.
