While some may label Marvel Rivals as an Overwatch clone, developer NetEase deserves credit for finding innovative ways to appeal to its eager and dedicated audience. Enter Lady Loki, a brand-new outfit for the existing Strategist hero Loki, offering players a comics-accurate version of the Norse trickster god(dess).
Not Hela, But Loki
Contrary to earlier predictions and fears, the previously teased Lady Loki costume is definitely not a skin for Hela. Instead, it is a complete reskin of Loki the character, featuring fresh voice lines. Judging by the official preview, Lady Loki retains all of Loki's signature abilities: his projectile attack, Deception, and Doppelgänger. The sole difference is her new appearance, designed to appeal to an segment of fans more than ready to part with their in-game currency.
Hearing and Seeing Lady Loki
Below is a look at Lady Loki on the battlefield, accompanied by a taste of her new voiceover, performed by voice actor Abby Trott. It's worth noting Trott also voices Magik in Marvel Rivals.
Her lines and onscreen presence add a fresh energy to the familiar kit.
A Gateway to Future Skins
With NetEase has opened the door with this gender-bent skin for Loki, the Marvel Rivals community is busy speculating about similar swaps. Fan suggestions currently include:
- The character Gwenpool as the forthcoming Deadpool.
- Jane Foster as Thor.
- Spider-Gwen as Spider-Woman.
The big question is: Will NetEase have the guts to introduce less mainstream variants, such as one-time Ms. Marvel Sharon Ventura as She-Thing? That likely depend on fan demand!
Availability Details
The Lady Loki skin will be available in Marvel Rivals from January 1, 2026, at 6 p.m. PST until January 29, 2026, at 6 p.m. PST.
