Stellar Blade and NIKKE Collaboration: DLC Trailer Released

Spotlight on Doro!

SHIFT UP has unveiled the new trailer for their upcoming DLC collaboration with Goddess of Victory: NIKKE. Posted on YouTube on May 22, viewers quickly noticed the appearance of Doro, the quirky chibi-dog that has taken the internet by storm.

Doro makes a brief cameo toward the video’s end, sharing a short moment with Stellar Blade's protagonist, Eve. The meme character is fully animated in all its chaotic charm, posing, scampering about, and closing the trailer with a signature laugh.

The meme originated from fan art depicting Stella Unibell from "Soulworker" as a cute, dog-like character. It quickly spread through Korean NIKKE forums, leading to a similar depiction of NIKKE’s Dorothy—nicknamed "Dororong." The character’s mischievous and vibrant personality gained global popularity, earning her the name "Gremlin Dorothy," and her fame soon extended beyond the NIKKE community.

Doro’s appeal was even noticed by SHIFT UP CEO Kim Hyung Tae, who was seen alongside his wife in 2024 holding a Christmas-themed Doro plush. While Doro’s exact role in the collaboration remains a mystery, fans are delighted and intrigued by this charming and unexpected addition.

Stellar Blade x NIKKE Collaboration Arrives June 11

This eagerly awaited crossover launches on June 11, the same day the PC version of Stellar Blade releases. According to the official website, the expansion introduces a new boss fight, NIKKE-themed outfits and rewards, a fresh mini-game, and more.

The site states: "Scarlet, the warrior from Shift Up’s popular third-person mobile shooter, has arrived for an epic one-on-one battle. Defeat her to earn new costumes, hairstyles, and a song for EVE."

Inspired by NIKKE’s sci-fi shooter gameplay, the new mini-game invites players to visit Volt’s reward shop—run by NIKKE’s loyal robotic companion—to unlock exclusive themed outfits and cosmetics. Players can also relax with a fishing mini-game, where they can collect six NIKKE-themed items.

Specific details about outfits and additional rewards in the DLC have not yet been revealed. Still, fans are thrilled to see SHIFT UP’s two major titles joining forces to deliver an impressive crossover experience.

The Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC is a standalone add-on and will be included in Stellar Blade’s Ultimate Edition. Stellar Blade’s PC edition launches on Steam on June 11. For the latest news and updates, check out our article below.
