The Stellar Blade x NIKKE collaboration DLC trailer has taken the gaming community by storm, featuring the unexpected appearance of the internet meme sensation, Doro. This chibi-dog, known for its cute yet chaotic personality, has captivated fans and added a delightful twist to the upcoming expansion. Read on to discover more about Doro's surprising cameo and what exciting features await in the Stellar Blade x NIKKE crossover.
Doro Spotted!
SHIFT UP, the developer behind the highly anticipated collaboration, released a trailer for the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC on May 22. The trailer's end showcased a thrilling cameo by Doro, the chibi-dog meme, engaging in animated antics and sharing a brief yet memorable interaction with Stellar Blade's protagonist, Eve. Doro's appearance, complete with poses, runs, and a playful laugh, has left fans both shocked and delighted.
Originally, Doro stemmed from fan art of Stella Unibell from "Soulworker," transformed into a chibi-dog. The meme gained traction on Korean NIKKE forums, where it was applied to NIKKE’s Dorothy, earning the nickname "Dororong." Known globally as "Gremlin Dorothy," Doro's influence spread far beyond the NIKKE community. The meme's impact reached SHIFT UP's CEO, Kim Hyung Tae, who was seen with a Christmas-themed Doro plush in 2024. While Doro's exact role in the collaboration remains a mystery, the inclusion of this quirky character has fans buzzing with excitement.
