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

A viral internet sensation has just found its way into the world of gaming. Stellar Blade, the popular third-person shooter developed by SHIFT UP, recently announced a collaboration with their sister title, Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, featuring none other than the beloved chibi-dog meme, Doro. Fans were quick to notice the adorable yet unexpected appearance of this online favorite in the DLC trailer, which dropped on May 22.

At the end of the trailer, Doro makes a surprise entrance, engaging in a playful interaction with Stellar Blade's protagonist, Eve. Fully animated and bursting with energy, Doro runs around, strikes poses, and leaves viewers laughing—a fitting tribute to the chaos and charm that made the meme so popular in the first place. Originating from fan art of Soulworker's Stella Unibell, Doro's journey took her through NIKKE's Dorothy character, eventually earning her the nickname "Gremlin Dorothy." Her global popularity even caught the attention of SHIFT UP's CEO, who was seen posing with a Christmas-themed Doro plush in 2024.
