Just last month, a Battlefield 2042 new Specialist named “Lis” was datamined. While there’s still no confirmation from DICE whether Lis is the upcoming Specialist set to be deployed when Season 1 launches this month, that seems to be the case, as more details regarding the character has been datamined along with other stuff.

Same as with any datamined info, there is no guarantee that these will make it into the game, as these could be scrapped content, stuff planned for later seasons and so on. But chances are, given these are still in the game files, Season 1 will indeed be called “Zero Hour,” and the new Specialist will be Ewelina Lis!
The wait for Season 1 won’t be long now, as it’s promised to launch in “early June.” We’re hoping that more info regarding it will be released this coming week.
