You might dismiss Marvel Rivals as an imitation of Overwatch, developer NetEase deserves praise for finding creative ways to engage its unabashedly thirsty fanbase. Enter Lady Loki, a brand-new costume for the existing Strategist hero Loki, offering players a faithful to the comics version of the Asgardian trickster god(dess).
Not Hela, But Loki
Despite some predictions and fears, the previously teased Lady Loki costume is not a skin for Hela. Rather, it is a full-on reskin of Loki himself, featuring fresh voiceover work. Based on the reveal trailer, Lady Loki keeps all of Loki's core abilities: Mystical Missile, his trickery skill, and Doppelgänger. The only change is her striking new look, tailored to captivate an segment of fans eager to part with their in-game currency.
A Look and Sound in Action
Below is a glimpse at Lady Loki on the battlefield, accompanied by a sample of her VO, performed by voice actor Abby Trott. It's worth noting Trott also voices Magik in Marvel Rivals.
The character's dialogue and visual flair bring a new energy to the well-known playstyle.
A Gateway to Future Skins
Now that NetEase has opened the door with this gender-bent skin for Loki, the Marvel Rivals community is already speculating about similar swaps. Fan suggestions now include:
- The character Gwenpool as the upcoming Deadpool.
- Thor's alter ego Jane Foster as Thor.
- Gwen Stacy as Spider-Woman.
One pressing query is: Will NetEase have the guts to introduce more obscure variants, such as former hero Sharon Ventura as She-Thing? That likely depend on fan demand!
Availability Details
The Lady Loki skin will be obtainable in Marvel Rivals from January 1, 2026, at 6 p.m. PST until January 29, 2026, at 6 p.m. PST.
