NetEase has officially unveiled a new cosmetic skin for Marvel Rivals that turns the mischievous trickster Loki into a powerful goddess. The gender-swap skin, called Lady Loki, arrives with fresh animations, a new voice, and special emotes, and will be available to players from January 1.
New Lady Loki Skin Revealed
The skin departs from a simple model change; it introduces a new silhouette, unique animations, and a voice track performed by Dan Da Dan’s Abby Trott, who also voices Illyana Rasputina in the game. The package includes custom emotes and the usual special MVP animation that fans expect from a premium skin.
The skin’s reveal was accompanied by a tweet from Marvel Rivals:

Future Skin Possibilities
The release of Lady Loki suggests that Marvel Rivals could explore similar gender-swap or mantle-swap skins for other roster members. Potential candidates include Thor as Jane Foster’s Mighty Thor, Deadpool’s upcoming appearance opening a Gwenpool variant, and female Spider-heroes standing in for Peter Parker. The article cautions that such changes should not replace core characters like She-Hulk, X-23, or Sam Wilson’s Cap with mere skins.
