20 Biggest Games Of 2015: What Do We Already Know?

From exciting new IPs to long-awaited sequels and promising reboots...

2015 is already in full swing, though as any gamer worth their salt knows, things don't really start getting interesting until March, when developers start releasing their meatiest titles. Sure, the year so far has seen the release of fun outings like Saints Row: Gat out of Hell, Dying Light, Life is Strange, Apotheon and Evolve, but each is likely to be mostly forgotten by the end of the year amid the prime rib gaming selections that are yet to come. So, what should gamers be expecting from 2015? Sequels, a lot of sequels, that's for sure. Hell, even in this list of the year's biggest games, more than 75% of the picks are sequels, reboots or otherwise rooted in previously existing material. Indeed, originality isn't exactly at a premium in AAA gaming right now, so for those after something a little more diverting, it's best to keep your eyes peeled elsewhere than at the major studios. Still, not all franchise fare is inherently lazy, and regardless of how these 20 games might turn out, they're each eagerly anticipated by a large section of the gaming community. Perhaps they're going to restore the former glory to an ailing series or simply deliver more of the brilliance fans have come to expect, but each will be selling like hotcakes upon release. Here are the 20 biggest video games of 2015, and what we already know about them...
