Stellar Blade x NIKKE DLC Trailer Drop

Doro Spotted!

SHIFT UP, the developer behind Stellar Blade, recently unveiled a thrilling trailer for their upcoming Goddess of Victory: NIKKE collaboration DLC. Released on YouTube on May 22, the trailer quickly caught the attention of fans, especially with the surprise appearance of the internet-famous chibi-dog meme, Doro.

At the trailer's conclusion, Doro makes a brief yet memorable appearance, interacting playfully with Stellar Blade’s protagonist, Eve. Fully animated and brimming with personality, Doro is seen striking poses, dashing around, and concluding the trailer with an infectious laugh.

The origin of the Doro meme traces back to fan art featuring Stella Unibell from the game "Soulworker," reimagined as a chibi-dog. This artwork gained traction across Korean NIKKE forums, inspiring similar creations for NIKKE’s Dorothy, affectionately dubbed "Dororong." Doro's whimsical and chaotic charm spread worldwide, earning her nicknames like "Gremlin Dorothy" and making her a beloved figure beyond the NIKKE community.

Interestingly, SHIFT UP’s CEO, Kim Hyung Tae, and his wife were spotted with a Christmas-themed Doro plush in 2024, hinting at the meme's significant influence. While Doro's specific role in the collaboration remains a mystery, fans are thrilled and amazed by her inclusion in this unexpected crossover.
