The internet is abuzz with excitement over the viral debut of Doro—a beloved meme character—in the Stellar Blade x NIKKE DLC collaboration trailer. This unexpected crossover has caught the attention of both gaming communities, leaving fans eager to see what this partnership holds.
The trailer, released on May 22, showcases Doro, the chibi-dog sensation, making a surprise appearance alongside Stellar Blade's protagonist, Eve. Fans were thrilled to see the quirky character brought to life through seamless animations and interactions. Originally starting as fan art inspired by Soulworker’s Stella Unibell, Doro quickly became a global phenomenon under the moniker "Dororong," earning nicknames such as "Gremlin Dorothy." Her chaotic charm even caught the eye of SHIFT UP CEO Kim Hyung Tae, who recently posed with a Christmas-themed Doro plush, further cementing her status as a pop culture icon.
Set to launch on June 11, the DLC expansion promises an exciting lineup of new content. Players will face off against Scarlet, a formidable boss from NIKKE, with exclusive rewards like costumes, hairstyles, and songs awaiting victors. The collaboration also introduces a new mini-game inspired by NIKKE’s sci-fi shooting mechanics, where players can explore a rewards shop managed by Volt, the loyal robotic dog. For those looking to unwind, a relaxing fishing mini-game lets players collect six unique NIKKE-themed items.
While details about specific rewards remain scarce, the anticipation surrounding this collaboration is palpable. The Stellar Blade x NIKKE DLC will be available as part of the Ultimate Edition, and Stellar Blade’s PC version hits Steam on the same day.
