E3 is almost like an early Christmas for gamers: each year, the Electronic Entertainment Expo dominates the Downtown Los Angeles area, with developers and publishers from around the world all focused on the future of the gaming industry. Everything from the hardware to the games themselves are on display, and E3 2015 will be no different.

While there are bound to be some huge surprises at this year's show, fans already know about a bunch of the games headed to E3 2015. Some made their debut at last year's E3, and others are all but confirmed to debut — either way, even with only a fraction of the full list available, E3 2015 is already looking like one of the biggest shows in quite some time.

That's enough talk — here's everything gamers should expect to see at E3 2015:

Assassin's Creed Victory

Developer: Ubisoft Quebec
Publisher: Ubisoft

Footage of the game may have already leaked online, but expect a proper reveal of Assassin's Creed Victory at one of the big E3 press conferences this year.

Crackdown

Developer: Cloudgine
Publisher: Microsoft

The game only got a short teaser during Microsoft's presser last year, so expect something a bit bigger for Crackdown's E3 2015 showing.

The Division

Developer: Massive Entertainment
Publisher: Ubisoft

Ubisoft has promised that The Division is still coming later this year, and if that's true, expect to see something big at this year's E3.

Doom

Developer: iD
Publisher: Bethesda

Bethesda, the publisher behind Doom, is holding its first-ever E3 press conference this year — expect to finally see some in-game Doom footage.

Fable Legends

Developer: Lionhead Studios
Publisher: Microsoft

Microsoft has touted more than a few of Fable Legends' cross-platform features, so expect the game to make a big impact at both the publisher's presser and show floor booth.

Final Fantasty XV

Developer: Square Enix
Publisher: Square Enix

As with all Square Enix RPGs, there's no guarantee that Final Fantasy XV will be shown at this year's E3 — though the hugely positive response to the Episode Duscae demo does help the game's chances.

Forza Motorsport 6

Developer: Turn 10 Studios
Publisher: Microsoft

Forza Motorsport 6 was announced earlier this year, and Microsoft has since confirmed that the game will be playable on the show floor.

Gears of War

Developer: Black Tusk Studios
Publisher: Microsoft

Black Tusk Studios (the current heralds of the Gears of War franchise) haven't been shy when talking about the series' next entry, so it's safe to say that a trailer will pop up at Microsoft's press conference.

Halo 5: Guardians

Developer: 343 Industries
Publisher: Microsoft

Following a hugely successful beta, Halo 5: Guardians will definitely be at Microsoft's show this year — and this time, 343 Industries will be focusing on story over multiplayer.

Homefront 2

Developer: Crytek Studios UK
Publisher: Deep Silver

To say that Homefront 2′s development has been rocky is a massive understatement — if the game is still in development, expect to see a return at E3 2015.

Just Cause 3

Developer: Avalanche Studios
Publisher: Square Enix

Following a huge reveal earlier this year, expect a full-blown gameplay debut of Just Cause 3 to hit during this year's show.

Kingdom Hearts III

Developer: Square Enix
Publisher: Square Enix

Last year's reveal of Kingdom Hearts III was one of the best moments of the show, but the game making an appearance at E3 2015 is only a 50-50 chance ... and, if it does show up, don't expect too much.

LEGO Jurassic World

Developer: Traveler's Tales
Publisher: Warner Bros.

We've seen the tiny plastic dinosaurs (and Jeff Goldblum) of LEGO Jurassic World already, so expect the game to be playable on the show floor.

Mad Max

Developer: Avalanche Studios
Publisher: Warner Bros.

Considering the movie hits theaters in just a few short weeks, you can be sure that the Mad Max game will have a big presence at E3 2015.

Mario Maker

Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo

It's Mario's 30th Anniversary, and Nintendo is already selling Mario Maker as a tribute to the plumber's birthday. Expect a lot from the game at this year's show.

Mass Effect 4

Developer: BioWare
Publisher: EA

EA teased fans with a few in-game screenshots of Mass Effect 4 during last year's show, so it's almost guaranteed that we'll get to see something more substantial at E3 this year.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Developer: Kojima Productions
Publisher: Konami

The game will finally be released in September, so E3 2015 will be Metal Gear Solid V's last show — as such, expect something big from Konami.

Minecraft: Story Mode

Developer: Telltale Games
Publisher: Telltale Games

There isn't a whole lot of information about Minecraft: Story Mode available yet, but fans should expect to get a better idea of exactly what the game is at this year's E3.

Mirror's Edge 2

Developer: DICE
Publisher: EA

Mirror's Edge 2 was one of the bigger surprises from E3 2014, but not much was actually shown — something that EA will likely change at E3 2015.

No Man's Sky

Developer: Hello Games
Publisher: Hello Games

As one of the biggest indie games of the foreseeable future, fans are expecting something huge from No Man's Sky and Sony will be pushing the game hard during this year's show.

Persona 5

Developer: Atlus
Publisher: Atlus

Atlus' biggest RPG series is finally headed to next-gen, and it's highly likely that Sony will have a big demo ready to play at this year's E3.

Quantum Break

Developer: Remedy Entertainment
Publisher: Microsoft

The delay to 2016 had some worried about Quantum Break's quality — expect Microsoft to do some serious damage control at its E3 press conference.

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Developer: Crystal Dynamics
Publisher: Microsoft

As one of Microsoft's biggest exclusives, Rise of the Tomb Raider will have a huge prescience at the publisher's booth this year.

Rock Band 4

Developer: Harmonix
Publisher: Harmonix

Harmonix made some huge waves when it announced the return of Rock Band 4 earlier this year, so you can expect to finally see what the game looks like at E3 2015.

Scalebound

Developer: Platinum Games
Publisher: Microsoft

At E3 2014, Scalebound was a bit of a mystery — aside from the Platinum Games label and an exclusivity deal, no one knew what it was. At E3 2015, you can expect to get a better look at Microsoft's dragon simulator.

Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem

Developer: Intelligent Systems
Publisher: Nintendo

Little is known about Atlus' team-up with Nintendo, but fans of both RPG series should keep an eye out for Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem at Nintendo's booth.

Star Fox (Wii U)

Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo

It's the first proper Star Fox game in years, and Nintendo has confirmed that it will have a playable demo of the game on the show floor at E3 2015.

Star Wars Battlefront

Developer: DICE
Publisher: EA

The game's first trailer is set for release in April, so fans should expect to see something big from Star Wars Battlefront at this year's E3 — with any luck, it'll be gameplay.

Star Wars (Visceral Games)

Developer: Visceral Games
Publisher: EA

Next to nothing is known about Visceral Games' (developers of Dead Space) take on the Star Wars universe, but EA is likely to change that at E3 2015.

Titanfall 2

Developer: Respawn Entertainment
Publisher: EA

Respawn Entertainment shocked the world when it announced that Titanfall 2 would be multiplatform, but anything more than a teaser at E3 would be a surprise.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Developer: Naughty Dog
Publisher: Sony

Despite the fact that the game was pushed back to Spring 2016, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is still one of Sony's biggest games. Get ready for another beautiful gameplay demo at the publisher's presser.

WWE 2K16

Developer: Yuke's
Publisher: 2K Sports

The game hasn't been officially announced yet, but WWE has already confirmed that the next entry in the WWE 2K series will be playable at E3 2015.

Xenoblade Chronicles X

Developer: Monolith Soft
Publisher: Nintendo

It's not every day that Nintendo itself is surprised by a game's success, so expect a big push for Xenoblade Chronicles X at this year's show — is it too much to hope for a playable demo?

Yoshi's Wooly World

Developer: Good-Feel
Publisher: Nintendo

Nintendo hasn't said much about Yoshi's Wooly World, but it's highly likely that the successor to Super Mario World 2 will be playable at the show.

The list of games headed to E3 2015 is already huge, and it's just the tip of the iceberg — expect plenty more to be announced before the show starts, and even more once E3 gets rolling.

E3 2015 begins on June 16, so stay tuned to the T-Lounge for live updates straight from the show floor!
