DLC Trailer Reveal

Internet Meme Takes Center Stage

SHIFT UP unveiled the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC collaboration trailer on May 22, instantly catching attention with an unexpected appearance by the famous internet meme Doro.

In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, the trailer concludes with the animated chibi-dog interacting with Stellar Blade protagonist Eve. The fully realized version of Doro bursts with personality - posing playfully, darting across the screen, and capping the trailer with its signature laugh.

Originally stemming from fan art of Stella Unibell from "Soulworker", where the character was reimagined as an adorable chibi dog, the meme took on a life of its own. Korean NIKKE forums embraced it wholeheartedly, adapting the concept to NIKKE's Dorothy character - affectionately dubbed "Dororong". Its infectious energy transcended boundaries, earning nicknames like "Gremlin Dorothy" and spreading beyond NIKKE communities worldwide.

The meme's cultural reach extended to SHIFT UP's leadership, with CEO Kim Hyung Tae and his wife photographed with a holiday-themed Doro plush in 2024. While Doro's precise role in the collaboration remains a mystery, its inclusion has generated both excitement and delightful confusion among the fanbase.
