SWTOR: Knights of the Fallen Empire
BioWare will be at the show, and this year a new Star Wars film will be debuted. It's a no brainer that SWTOR's upcoming expansion, Knights of the Fallen Empire, will be at the show.

Transformers: Devastation (Platinum Games)
It was announced at E3 that a new Transformers game is being made by the one and only Platinum Games. They will be at the event with a panel on Thursday at 11:00AM where they talk about what the game is all about. -
Overwatch (Blizzard)
Blizzard is confirmed to be going to the show. They say that they will be talking about their late 2015/early 2016 line-up. Blizzard tends to only announce new games at its own convention, called BlizzCon, so it's likely that his means that StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void and Overwatch will be given the most attention. -
Just Cause 3 (Square Enix)
Square Enix has shared with me that they will be bringing three games to the show, one of which is Just Cause 3. This was one of the most popular games at E3 2015, and Square Enix might end up showing all-new gameplay.
