The company had two development teams, one of which worked on licenses and established franchises while the other worked on completely original games. The company only developed two games at a time, one with each studio, feeling that "anything more than that would jeopardize our focus, and therefore the quality of our studio".

History

Edge of Reality was founded in 1998 by Rob Cohen, the lead programmer of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter at Iguana Entertainment and Mike Panoff from Paradigm Entertainment. The company started by developing Nintendo 64 ports of successful games on other systems, including the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. Following the stability provided by the success of the ports, the company then branched out into developing its own original games on multiple platforms, including Pitfall: The Lost Expedition and Loadout.
