"Stellar Blade's Doro Meme from NIKKE DLC Trailer Goes Viral"

The recent collaboration between Stellar Blade and Goddess of Victory: NIKKE has taken the gaming community by storm, especially with the unexpected appearance of the internet meme sensation, Doro, in the newly released DLC trailer. This chibi-dog, known for its chaotic and adorable charm, has become a global phenomenon, and its inclusion in the trailer has fans buzzing with excitement and surprise.

Doro Spotted!

On May 22, developer SHIFT UP unveiled the trailer for their upcoming NIKKE DLC collaboration on YouTube, where eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed Doro making a brief yet impactful appearance. At the trailer's conclusion, Doro interacts with Stellar Blade’s protagonist, Eve, showcasing animated antics that include poses, running, and ending with a characteristic laugh.

Originally stemming from fan art of Stella Unibell from "Soulworker", Doro evolved into a beloved meme known as "Dororong" in the NIKKE community, and later as "Gremlin Dorothy" beyond it. The meme's popularity reached such heights that even SHIFT UP's CEO, Kim Hyung Tae, and his wife were seen with a Christmas-themed Doro plush in 2024. While Doro's role in the collaboration remains a mystery, its inclusion has undoubtedly added a unique and thrilling element to the crossover.
