The Hero Shooter Marvel Rivals Unabashedly Unveils the New Lady Loki Costume
You might call Marvel Rivals as an imitation of Overwatch, developer NetEase deserves praise for finding creative ways to appeal to its eager and dedicated fanbase. Enter Lady Loki, a brand-new outfit for the existing Strategist hero Loki, offering players a comics-accurate depiction of the Norse trickster god(dess).
A Reskin of Loki, Not Hela
Contrary to earlier fan speculation, the highly anticipated Lady Loki costume is definitely not a skin for Hela. Rather, it is a complete visual overhaul of Loki the character, featuring new voice lines. Judging by the reveal trailer, Lady Loki retains all of Loki's signature abilities: his projectile attack, Deception, and his clone ability. The only change is her new appearance, tailored to captivate an segment of fans eager to part with their in-game currency.
A Look and Sound in Action
Below is a glimpse at Lady Loki in action, along with a sample of her new voiceover, courtesy of voice actor Abby Trott. It's worth noting Trott is also the voice behind Magik in Marvel Rivals.
The character's dialogue and onscreen presence add a new energy to the familiar playstyle.
Opening the Door to Possibilities
With NetEase has opened the door with this gender-swapped skin for Loki, the Marvel Rivals community is already speculating about future possibilities. Popular ideas now include:
- The character Gwenpool as the forthcoming Deadpool.
- Thor's alter ego Jane Foster as Thor.
- Spider-Gwen as Spider-Woman.
One pressing query is: Does NetEase have the courage to introduce less mainstream variants, such as one-time Ms. Marvel Sharon Ventura as She-Thing? That likely depend on player requests!
When to Get the Skin
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.
