We have our Microsoft E3 predictions right here.

One of the presenters, Microsoft, is set to do a press conference tentatively on the morning of 15 June to provide information on what the company will be presenting and exactly when at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), happening on 16-18 June, which is just a few weeks away.

Microsoft is expected to present developments and other information regarding their upcoming game titles for 2015 and early 2016.

One of the things Microsoft might want to talk about is Halo 5. Developer 343 Industries is working double-time on the upcoming first-person shooter game Halo 5 to make sure it is set up for success and fans are satisfied with the output as various pre-order offers from UK site GAME, and also from GameStop, are slowly becoming available.

The highlight release for Xbox One this year would be Rise of the Tomb Raider by Crystal Dynamics. Lara Croft will definitely receive a better chance to shine as its competitor in PS4 (Uncharted 4: A Thief's End) has been delayed to an early 2016 release.

Gamers should also expect word from Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, which is a popular shooter game from Activision. Its timed DLC has very high odds of being discussed as well.

Other games like Quantum Break, Forza Motorsport 6, Fable Legends, and Scalebound are also expected to be mentioned at Microsoft's E3 presentation.

Microsoft's VR system HoloLens which works for Windows 10 might also see some air time at the E3. Some information regarding Windows 10 will probably be shared as well.

"It's time for us to talk about gaming on Windows," as Xbox's Phil Spencer said.

The much-talked about Microsoft HoloLens is a wireless holographic headset that will overlap holograms into a user's field of vision. Some describe it as a wearable 3D display. While there hasn't been too much information about it, it appears to be a way for people to create and use holograms for work or play as well as use the regular windows platform without the use of peripheral such as keyboards, mice, and monitors. How that ties in to the Xbox consoles will most likely be explained during the E3.

There are a lot of other games that would probably be unveiled, however this is what we think is going to happen. Whether our Microsoft E3 predictions would hit the mark remains to be seen, although, there is a good chance of that happening.
