Which games studios have a diverse catalogue of game genres/styles?

For example, valve has:

Team Fortress - Character based multiplayer fps
Portal - First-person puzzle game
Half-Life classic - Narrative focused fps with physics based-puzzles
Left for Dead - Co-op focused zombie shooter
Alyx - Narrative-focused VR fps
Dota: Moba
Artifact? - Trading card game

Not truly diverse since half of them are variations of a first-person shooter (with some common ui elements between them, even) but not really the exact same genre over and over


Creative Assembly:
Total War games - Rts+Grand strategy hybrid
Alien Isolation - First person survival horror?
Halo Wars 2 - Sci-fi rts
Viking Battle for asgard - Action adventure hack and slash?
They're basically the total war studio, but they did try out something different with Isolation

Prior to the sale of the Eidos assets, S-E had the most diverse, large scale IPs outside of the platform makers.

The other two that jump to mind: Take Two and ABK, despite us all wishing it was not true.

Tencent likely counts too, but I’m less knowledgeable about their mobile catalog.

Supergiant Games.

Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, Hades.

Yes, they are all of action genre in some way, but each one is also absolutely unique.

Nintendo. But it’s probably shorter to list the genres they don’t cover rather than the ones they do.
