In 2020, they released Predator: Hunting Grounds, in which one player controls a Predator who faces off against military operatives. And, most recently, they madeKiller Klowns from Outer Space in 2024, where, you guessed it, a group of Klowns go up against humans trying to escape; the main difference in that last one is that there are three Klowns instead of just one single powerful entity.

For better or worse, the video game industry is all about the "next big thing." What's great is how these next big things can sometimes come out of nowhere, with indie games (Expedition 33, Silksong, Hades 2) dominating the awards season this year.
