Looking Ahead To The Games Of 2015

Whether part of an intended schedule or due to a delay, the games of 2015 are looking good. We’ve compiled a list of next year’s games, so you know what the future looks like for your platform of choice.

We’ll be updating this list throughout the rest of 2014, so check back with us as your future backlog begins to pile up. We're being conservative about some of the titles that were shown without gameplay, so if you see something you think should be on the list, let us know. We'll check back in and keep the conversation going.

Assassin's Creed Rogue (PC) - 2015
Play as Shay Cormac, an Assassin turned assassin hunter.

Batman: Arkham Knight (Xbox One, PS4, PC) - 2015
Rocksteady is donning cape and cowl for one last go at the Arkham series. This final title in the series will be on PC and new-gen hardware only, so if you want to see who is under the Arkham Knight’s mask (no, the title doesn’t refer to Batman), you’ll have to upgrade.

Gearbox's new title is a strategic, team-based shooter.

Fable Legends (Xbox One) - 2015
Lionhead is mixing up the traditional Fable formula with a new 4v1 approach that puts one player in the role of the villain. With his/her eye in the sky, the mastermind will be able to lay traps and command minions to thwart the heroes. 

Fenix Rage (Xbox One, PS4, Vita) - Early 2015
One part Super Meat Boy, one part Sonic, entirely frustrating. Fenix Rage is hardcore platforming.

Suda51's next crazy trip looks to be an ultraviolet romp. We saw our first trailer at E3, but are eager to learn more. 

Mad Max (Xbox One, 360, PS4, PS3, PC) - 2015

Mario and Donkey Kong go head-to-head again in this adorable puzzle title. This time out, there are more toys and over 80 puzzles.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (3DS) - 2015
The wildly popular Monster Hunter franchise returns to western shores in 2015. Capcom promises it's the biggest leap forward the series has ever seen. 

Mortal Kombat X (Xbox One, 360, PS4, PS3, PC) - April 14, 2015
After weeks of teasing, Warner Bros. and NetherRealm have pulled the curtain back on the duo's first fighting game built for Xbox One and PS4 (though it will be last-gen systems and PC, too).

Rime (PS4) - 2015
Tequila Works first announced Rime at Gamescom 2013, and after a year of silence, we got our first look at the same show a year later. The cel-shaded aesthetic reminds us of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, and that's perfectly fine by us.

Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One, Xbox 360) - 2015
We knew this was coming, but we were glad to see the first bit of Lara Croft's new adventure at E3.

ScreamRide (Xbox One, Xbox 360) - 2015
Microsoft's amusement park creator was announced at Gamescom 2014. We only wonder why the team didn't call it VomRide. That would sell just as well... right? 

Shadow Realms (PC) - 2015
BioWare is crafting a 4v1 game, pitting players against a villainous Shadow Lord. We played the game for the first time at Gamescom, but we don't expect to hear more about it until next year. 

Silent Hills (PS4 confirmed, others TBA) - 2015
Hideo Kojima pulled a fast one at Gamescom 2014. After a silly cardboard box trailer for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, a teaser for something called P.T. was shown. That turned out to be a playable teaser for a new Silent Hill game, making "P.T." one of the biggest surprises of the show.

Smite (Xbox One) - 2015
Hi-Rez's third-person MOBA will be making the jump from PC to Xbox One in 2015. 

Space Engineers (Xbox One) - 2015

Nintendo's accessible, paint-splattered title brings arena shooters to the Wii U with a clever use of the Gamepad for real-time mapping.

Star Wars Battlefront (Xbox One, PS4, PC) - 2015
EA and DICE are reviving the fan-adored Star Wars shooter. 

State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition (Xbox One) - 2015
Undead Labs is bringing its zombie survival adventure to the Xbox One with all of the content already available. 

Superhot (Xbox One) - 2015
Team Superhot's successful Kickstarter set the time-bending first-person shooter on course for PC, but console gamers will get a crack at it, too. Superhot is coming first to Xbox One in 2015. 

Titan Souls (PS4, Vita, PC) - 2015
Born of the Ludum Dare, this title pits a tiny hero against massive bosses who can squash him in one blow. 

The Tomorrow Children (PS4) - 2015
Q-Games is returning to 3D with a surreal, multiplayer crafting game called The Tomorrow Children. The story takes place in a fractured, alternate reality, in which players must collectively rebuild a city.

Total War: Attila focuses on the legendary Hun leader, who proved to be one of the most formidable opponents for the Roman Empire.

Tropico 5 (PS4) - Early 2015
El Presidente invites you to rule your own island nation in the fifth installment of Kalypso’s political simulation series.

Nathan Drake might be about to go on his last adventure, at least that's what Naughty Dog would have us believe from not-so-subtle audio cues in the E3 trailer.

Until Dawn (PS4) - 2015
Supermassive Games has completely retooled Until Dawn, dropping the Move input and focusing solely on the Dual Shock 4. The story evokes teen slasher flicks for a combination of cheesy and terrifying.

The game stars a group of vikings as they retrieve treasure for their possessed leader by beating up an assortment of competing soldiers and monsters.

Volume (PS4, Vita) - 2015
Mike Bithell's follow-up to Thomas Was Alone retells the story of Robin Hood with a Metal Gear Solid VR mission-inspired aesthetic.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Xbox One, PS4, PC) - February 24, 2015
CD Projekt bumped the conclusion to Geralt’s story from 2014 into early next year. The studio believes that the few extra months are necessary to deliver the experience fans expect. We suspect The Witcher fans are willing to wait. 

Xenoblade Choronicles X (Wii U) - 2015
Nintendo has finally put a name on the RPG we had all taken to calling "X". The title is a spiritual successor to Xenoblade Chronicles rather than a direct sequel.

Yoshi's Wooly World (Wii U) - 2015
Nintendo has put a new title on Yarn Yoshi, and the title is looking like a gorgeously crocheted blanket. 

Be sure to check back with us here as more games get announced (or bumped) into 2015.
