Now Playing: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III | Official Lockpick Operator Reveal Trailer

Lockpick's real name is Elodie Micheaux, who is described as a cunning art thief. In the trailer, we see Lockpick attempting to crack into a safe and blasting away enemies in the way.

Sony pays Activision to create content exclusive to PlayStation to help encourage people to buy the PlayStation version of Call of Duty, but this arrangement may be ending soon. Reportedly, Modern Warfare III is the last game in Sony's deal with Activision. But this may have nothing to do with Microsoft's impending deal to buy Activision Blizzard.

Microsoft is in the process of buying Activision Blizzard and all of its games, including Call of Duty. If the deal closes, Call of Duty games might come to Xbox Game Pass, but not right away. Call of Duty games will still come to PlayStation for the next decade if Microsoft buys Activision Blizzard.

Also during Call of Duty Next, Activision announced that Modern Warfare III will introduce more than 30 new weapons and include even more detailed weapon stats in Gunsmith.

Modern Warfare III launches on November 10. The Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer beta begins on October 6, first on PlayStation before expanding to Xbox and PC.
