Psylocke utilizes a vast range of psionic abilities to outsmart and outflank her enemies. Her agile speed and quick motions allow Psylocke to dash across short distances, while also being able to cloak herself and appear invisible before attacking. Her ultimate ability brings all these elements together, as Psylocke rushes across the battlefield with her wings on full display, cutting down all enemies in her path.

The version of Psylocke is inspired by the character design of award-winning comic book artist Peach Momoko, who received both the Eisner Award and Ringo Award in 2021, and is based on her best-selling comic X-Men: Demon Days. The Psylocke character design was co-created by Marvel Rivals artists and Momoko. Psylocke will also be voiced by Japanese voice actress Alpha Takahashi, who has voiced in other famous franchises such as Cyberpunk 2077.

A wandering warrior in feudal Japan, the telepathic ninja known as Sai has devoted herself to striking down ancient demons and monsters. With her wolf Logan by her side, Psylocke won't rest until all Yokai have fallen by her psychic blade. Sai was ripped from her reality by the Timestream Entanglement and put on display by the Collector. Alongside newfound allies, she escaped her cage and learned that other familiar warriors might still be out there. Her new quest is to gather those heroes, end this conflict, and return home.
