While some may call Marvel Rivals as an imitation of Overwatch, creator NetEase deserves praise for discovering innovative ways to appeal to its unabashedly thirsty fanbase. Enter Lady Loki, a brand-new costume for the current Strategist hero Loki, providing players a comics-accurate depiction of the Norse deity.
Not Hela, But Loki
Contrary to some fan speculation, the previously teased Lady Loki costume is definitely not a skin for Hela. Rather, it is a complete reskin of Loki himself, featuring new voice lines. Judging by the reveal trailer, Lady Loki keeps all of Loki's core powers: his projectile attack, his trickery skill, and Doppelgänger. The sole difference is her striking new look, designed to appeal to an audience more than ready to part with their Lattice.
A Look and Sound in Action
Below is a glimpse at Lady Loki in action, accompanied by a taste of her VO, courtesy of voice actor Abby Trott. Notably Trott is also the voice behind Magik in Marvel Rivals.
The character's dialogue and visual flair bring a fresh dynamic to the familiar kit.
Opening the Door to Possibilities
With NetEase has opened the door with this gender-bent skin for Loki, the Marvel Rivals community is busy considering future possibilities. Fan suggestions currently include:
- Gwenpool as the upcoming Deadpool.
- Jane Foster as the God of Thunder.
- Gwen Stacy as Spider-Woman.
One pressing query remains: Will NetEase have the guts to introduce less mainstream alternate versions, such as one-time Ms. Marvel Sharon Ventura as She-Thing? That likely depend on player requests!
When to Get the Skin
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.
