While some may label Marvel Rivals as an imitation of Overwatch, creator NetEase deserves credit for finding innovative ways to appeal to its eager and dedicated audience. Introducing Lady Loki, a completely new costume for the current Strategist hero Loki, providing players a faithful to the comics depiction of the Norse trickster god(dess).
Despite some predictions and fears, the highly anticipated Lady Loki costume is not a skin for Hela. Instead, it is a complete reskin of Loki the character, complete with fresh voiceover work. Based on the official preview, Lady Loki retains all of Loki's core powers: Mystical Missile, Deception, and Doppelgänger. The sole difference is her striking new look, designed to appeal to an audience more than ready to spend their Lattice.
Here is a look at Lady Loki in action, accompanied by a taste of her new voiceover, performed by voice actor Abby Trott. It's worth noting Trott is also the voice behind Magik in Marvel Rivals.
Her dialogue and onscreen presence bring a new dynamic to the familiar kit.
Now that NetEase has broken the seal with this gender-swapped skin for Loki, the Marvel Rivals community is busy speculating about future possibilities. Fan suggestions currently include:
The big question remains: Will NetEase have the guts to deliver more obscure alternate versions, such as former hero Sharon Ventura as She-Thing? That will probably hinge on fan demand!
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.
