"David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer," read the announcement made on David Bowie's official Facebook page. The legendary artist died just three days after releasing his latest album, the acclaimed and unique Blackstar ★.

The video game industry has seen plenty of David Bowie references and tributes over the years, with game creators openly professing love and taking inspiration from the musician, who through a 50-year career helped define popular music with a selection of iconic personas and important albums.

His influence is widely seen in Japanese productions from developers such as Suda51 or Hideo Kojima (though some affectionately say "David Bowie is every video game character ever" or "David Bowie is in every game"), and Bowie himself made a more direct contribution to the industry with Quantic Dream's (Beyond: Two Souls, Detroit) Dreamcast game, Omikron: The Nomad Soul.(gamereactor)
