The upcoming Stellar Blade x NIKKE collaboration DLC has taken the internet by storm with its unexpected inclusion of viral meme sensation Doro. Fans are buzzing about the chibi canine's surprise appearance and what this crossover expansion might bring.
Developer SHIFT UP unveiled the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE collaboration trailer on May 22, immediately sparking fan excitement with the unexpected appearance of the beloved meme character Doro.
Viewers were delighted to see the chibi dog share a brief but memorable interaction with Stellar Blade protagonist Eve. The fully animated character shows off its signature chaotic energy through playful movements and expressions, culminating in the trailer with its characteristic laughter.

The Doro phenomenon originated from fan art depicting Soulworker's Stella Unibell as a chibi dog. Gaining traction in Korean NIKKE communities, the meme evolved into "Dororong" featuring NIKKE's Dorothy character. Now dubbed "Gremlin Dorothy," the character has achieved global recognition beyond its original fandom.
The meme's popularity reached SHIFT UP's CEO Kim Hyung Tae, who was photographed with a Christmas-themed Doro plush earlier this year. While Doro's role in the collaboration remains mysterious, fans are thrilled by this whimsical yet fitting crossover addition.

Mark your calendars for June 11, when this exciting crossover drops alongside the PC version launch. The expansion promises:

While specific outfit details remain under wraps, the collaboration will be available as standalone DLC or as part of Stellar Blade's Ultimate Edition. The PC version launches simultaneously on Steam.
Fans of both franchises can look forward to experiencing this unique crossover when it arrives next month. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the June 11 release date!
