Gone Games.
We got to see a lot of big games at this year's E3. Despite a handful confirmed to not be at the show, there was still quite an extensive showing. However, there were games we've known about that simply weren't there. Be it titles we've seen from previous E3 showings or other big events, here's a list of all the games that were missing from E3 2015.
Homefront: The Revolution
Homefront: The Revolution is the upcoming sequel to the THQ's first person shooter series of the same name. The game has had quite a tumultuous development history. It ran into a bit of a trouble when original Homefront IP owner THQ went bankrupt in 2012. The IP was auctioned off to Crytek in 2013, but then sold to Deep Silver not long after. Regardless, Homefront: The Revolution was finally revealed in its current form at E3 2014 and is now in active development by Deep Silver Dambuster Studios.
Dead Island 2
Dead Island 2 was first announced during Sony's E3 press conference. The game is being developed by Yager, the studio behind Spec Ops: The Line. Outside of a gameplay demo at Gamescom 2014, not much has been shown of the upcoming sequel. News of the Dead Island 2 only recently surfaced when it was announced that its release would be delayed to 2016.
Beyond Good and Evil 2
Michel Ancel's sequel to the much beloved Beyond Good & Evil was once again absent from E3 this year. It was originally revealed to be in development back in 2008. But after a continuous cycle of intermittent development, the status of the game remains unclear.
Bravely Second: End Layer
Bravely Second: End Layer is the sequel to the critically acclaimed 3DS Square Enix RPG Bravely Default. Despite being released in Japan on April 23, 2015, the game was not present during this year's E3.
WiLD
WiLD is an online open world action adventure game by Rayman creator Michel Ancel. The title is his first project developed by his own independent studio Wild Sheep. Set in a natural landscape as big as Europe, the most intriguing feature of the game is that you will be able to play as any creature within its world. WiLD was first announced at PlayStation Experience 2014.
Let It Die
Let It Die is a PS4 free-to-play action game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture. It was initially called Lily Bergamo when first announced in 2013, but its name was changed to Let It Die when it was shown during Sony's E3 2014 press conference.
Deep Down
Deep Down is an upcoming free-to-play online action RPG by Capcom for the PS4. Announced at the PlayStation Meeting event back in 2013, the game was supposed to go into its beta in summer 2014 after an initial delay. However, the beta was delayed again into 2015.
Agent
This Rockstar North developed stealth action game was announced as a PS3 exclusive at Sony's E3 2009 press conference. Despite very little being shown of Agent throughout the years, the game was confirmed to still be in development in 2011. Its trademark was even renewed in 2013 as well. However, the current status of Agent remains unknown.

New God of War Title
A new God of War title was confirmed to be in development by veteran series contributor Cory Balrog during PlayStation Experience 2014. As of writing, details about the title's premise and release window remain unknown.
