You might label Marvel Rivals as an Overwatch clone, developer NetEase earns credit for discovering creative ways to engage its eager and dedicated fanbase. Enter Lady Loki, a completely new skin for the current Strategist hero Loki, providing players a comics-accurate version of the Norse deity.
Despite some predictions and fears, the highly anticipated Lady Loki costume is not a skin for Hela. Rather, it is a complete reskin of Loki himself, complete with new voice lines. Judging by the official preview, Lady Loki keeps the full suite of Loki's signature abilities: Mystical Missile, his trickery skill, and his clone ability. The sole difference is her striking new look, tailored to captivate an audience more than ready to part with their in-game currency.

The big question is: Will NetEase have the guts to introduce less mainstream alternate versions, such as former hero Sharon Ventura as She-Thing? That likely hinge on player requests!
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.
