The Hero Shooter Marvel Rivals Unabashedly Introduces the New Lady Loki Skin

While some may call Marvel Rivals as an Overwatch clone, creator NetEase earns credit for finding creative ways to appeal to its unabashedly thirsty audience. Introducing Lady Loki, a brand-new skin for the existing Strategist hero Loki, offering players a faithful to the comics depiction of the Asgardian trickster god(dess).

A Reskin of Loki, Not Hela

Despite earlier predictions and fears, the highly anticipated Lady Loki costume is definitely not a skin for Hela. Instead, it is a full-on visual overhaul of Loki the character, featuring new voiceover work. Based on the reveal trailer, Lady Loki retains the full suite of Loki's signature abilities: his projectile attack, Deception, and his clone ability. The only change is her striking new look, tailored to appeal to an segment of fans more than ready to spend their in-game currency.

Hearing and Seeing Lady Loki

Here is a look at Lady Loki on the battlefield, along with a taste of her new voiceover, performed by voice actor Abby Trott. Notably Trott also voices Magik in Marvel Rivals.

The character's lines and onscreen presence add a fresh energy to the familiar kit.

A Gateway to Future Skins

Now that NetEase has broken the seal with this gender-swapped skin for Loki, the Marvel Rivals community is already considering similar swaps. Popular ideas now include:

  • The character Gwenpool as the forthcoming Deadpool.
  • Jane Foster as Thor.
  • Gwen Stacy as Spider-Woman.

The big question is: Will NetEase have the guts to deliver more obscure variants, such as former hero Sharon Ventura as She-Thing? That likely depend on fan demand!

When to Get the Skin

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.
