You might label Marvel Rivals as an Overwatch clone, creator NetEase earns credit for discovering innovative ways to appeal to its unabashedly thirsty fanbase. Introducing Lady Loki, a brand-new costume for the current Strategist hero Loki, providing players a faithful to the comics version of the Norse trickster god(dess).
A Reskin of Loki, Not Hela
Despite some fan speculation, the highly anticipated Lady Loki costume is definitely not a skin for Hela. Rather, it is a complete reskin of Loki himself, featuring new voice lines. Based on the official preview, Lady Loki keeps the full suite of Loki's signature abilities: his projectile attack, Deception, and Doppelgänger. The sole difference is her new appearance, designed to appeal to an audience more than ready to part with their in-game currency.
A Look and Sound in Action
Here is a glimpse at Lady Loki on the battlefield, accompanied by a sample of her VO, courtesy of voice actor Abby Trott. It's worth noting Trott also voices Magik in Marvel Rivals.
The character's dialogue and onscreen presence add a fresh dynamic to the familiar 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 busy considering similar swaps. Fan suggestions now include:
- Gwenpool as the upcoming Deadpool.
- Thor's alter ego Jane Foster as the God of Thunder.
- Gwen Stacy as Spider-Woman.
One pressing query is: Does NetEase have the courage to introduce less mainstream alternate versions, 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.
