The Stellar Blade x NIKKE collaboration DLC trailer has taken the gaming community by storm, featuring the internet's beloved meme sensation, Doro. Dive into the details of this unexpected crossover and what fans can look forward to in the upcoming expansion.
SHIFT UP recently unveiled a thrilling trailer for their upcoming Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC collaboration. Uploaded to YouTube on May 22, the trailer left fans buzzing, especially after spotting the quirky chibi-dog meme, Doro, making a cameo. At the trailer's conclusion, Doro interacts with Stellar Blade's protagonist, Eve, showcasing animated antics that include playful poses, energetic runs, and a memorable laugh.
Doro's origins trace back to fan art of Stella Unibell from "Soulworker", reimagined as a chibi-dog. This concept quickly gained traction within Korean NIKKE forums, evolving into "Dororong" or "Gremlin Dorothy" after being applied to NIKKE’s Dorothy. The meme's infectious charm spread worldwide, captivating fans beyond the NIKKE community.
The influence of Doro even reached SHIFT UP's CEO, Kim Hyung Tae, who, along with his wife, was seen with a Christmas-themed Doro plush in 2024. While Doro's exact role in the collaboration remains a mystery, the excitement and astonishment among fans are palpable, celebrating the delightful addition of this iconic chibi-dog.
Mark your calendars for June 11, as this is when the Stellar Blade x NIKKE crossover event launches, coinciding with the PC version release of Stellar Blade. The official website promises an exciting add-on expansion, featuring a new boss battle, NIKKE-themed rewards and outfits, a new mini-game, and more.
According to the website, "The warrior Scarlet from Shift Up’s hit mobile app will challenge you to a legendary one-on-one showdown. Conquer this new Boss to unlock a new costume, hairstyle, and song for EVE."
The mini-game draws inspiration from NIKKE’s sci-fi shooting mechanics, and players can explore a rewards shop run by NIKKE’s loyal robotic dog, Volt, where they can purchase themed outfits and cosmetics. Additionally, a relaxing fishing activity allows players to catch six collectible NIKKE items.
While details on the specific outfits and rewards are yet to be disclosed, the anticipation among fans is sky-high for this unique collaboration between SHIFT UP's two popular titles. The Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC will be a separate add-on available with Stellar Blade’s Ultimate Edition. The PC version of Stellar Blade will be available on Steam starting June 11.
