I just hope they don’t get burned out and there is no crunch. The only other company that did so much in short time I can think of is Insomniac Games. It’s actually how it was used to be with how frequent we got games from single studios. But since they are so big and expensive nowadays, it seems a bit unreal for how fast some companies are able to pump out so many high quality games in relatively short time.
I always worry about that with From, and Japanese studios in general. They are often black boxes, and the only reason we don’t talk about them as much is because they do a good job of “keeping it in the family”. Maybe From is way bigger than we realize, or maybe they are just grinding entry level devs into dust. We truly just do not know.

Another maybe is they might outsource some work heavy stuff.
They are also extremely good at re-using assets.
