You might call Marvel Rivals as an Overwatch clone, developer NetEase earns praise for finding innovative ways to engage its unabashedly thirsty fanbase. Introducing Lady Loki, a completely new costume for the existing Strategist hero Loki, offering players a comics-accurate depiction of the Asgardian trickster god(dess).
Contrary to earlier predictions and fears, the previously teased Lady Loki costume is not a skin for Hela. Instead, it is a full-on visual overhaul of Loki the character, featuring fresh voiceover work. Judging by the official preview, Lady Loki keeps the full suite of Loki's core powers: his projectile attack, Deception, and his clone ability. The only change is her striking new look, tailored to appeal to an audience eager to spend their in-game currency.

Her dialogue and visual flair add a new energy to the well-known kit.
With NetEase has broken the seal with this gender-swapped skin for Loki, the Marvel Rivals community is busy considering similar swaps. Popular ideas currently range from:
One pressing query remains: Will NetEase have the guts to introduce less mainstream alternate versions, such as one-time Ms. Marvel 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.
