You might dismiss Marvel Rivals as an Overwatch clone, developer NetEase deserves credit for finding creative ways to appeal to its eager and dedicated fanbase. Introducing Lady Loki, a completely new skin for the existing Strategist hero Loki, offering players a comics-accurate depiction of the Asgardian deity.
Despite some fan speculation, the highly anticipated Lady Loki costume is definitely not a skin for Hela. Instead, it is a full-on visual overhaul of Loki himself, complete with fresh voice lines. Judging by the official preview, Lady Loki retains the full suite of Loki's core abilities: Mystical Missile, his trickery skill, and Doppelgänger. The only change is her new appearance, designed to appeal to an audience more than ready to spend their Lattice.
Below is a glimpse 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 visual flair bring a new energy to the familiar playstyle.
Now that NetEase has broken the seal with this gender-swapped skin for Loki, the Marvel Rivals community is busy speculating about similar swaps. Fan suggestions now include:
The big question is: Does NetEase have the courage to deliver less mainstream variants, such as former hero Sharon Ventura as She-Thing? That will probably depend 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.
