While some may dismiss Marvel Rivals as an imitation of Overwatch, developer NetEase earns credit for discovering creative ways to engage its unabashedly thirsty audience. Introducing Lady Loki, a completely new skin for the current Strategist hero Loki, providing players a comics-accurate version of the Norse deity.
Not Hela, But Loki
Despite earlier predictions and fears, the highly anticipated Lady Loki costume is definitely not a skin for Hela. Rather, it is a full-on visual overhaul of Loki the character, complete with new voice lines. Judging by the reveal trailer, Lady Loki retains the full suite of Loki's core abilities: his projectile attack, Deception, and his clone ability. The sole difference is her striking new look, designed to appeal to an audience eager to spend their Lattice.
A Look and Sound in Action
Here is a look at Lady Loki in action, accompanied by a sample of her VO, performed by voice actor Abby Trott. Notably Trott is also the voice behind Magik in Marvel Rivals.
Her lines and visual flair bring a new dynamic to the familiar kit.
Opening the Door to Possibilities
Now that NetEase has opened the door with this gender-bent skin for Loki, the Marvel Rivals community is busy considering similar swaps. Popular ideas currently range from:
- The character Gwenpool as the upcoming Deadpool.
- Jane Foster as Thor.
- Spider-Gwen as Spider-Woman.
The big question remains: Will NetEase have the guts to introduce less mainstream alternate versions, such as one-time Ms. Marvel Sharon Ventura as She-Thing? That will probably depend on player requests!
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.
