Edge of Reality, Ltd. is an independent entertainment software developer focused on next generation consoles, and is currently working with Electronic Arts and BioWare on Dragon Age 360 & PS3 and on an unannounced title.
History and Growth
Founded in 1998, Edge of Reality got its start by specializing in N64 games. These games include Monster Truck Madness N64, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1, 2, & 3 N64, and Spiderman N64. In 2001, Edge of Reality began releasing cross-platform games for the PS2, Xbox and GameCube. These games include The Sims, Pitfall: The Lost Expedition, DreamWorks' Shark Tale, and DreamWorks' Over the Hedge. In 2008, Edge of Reality released The Incredible Hulk which was not only a streaming open world cross platform title, but cross gen as well, having been released for the PS3, 360, Wii, PC and PS2. Most recently, Edge of Reality worked closely with BioWare to hand craft Dragon Age: Origins PS3 & 360. Dragon Age: Origins was released to both critical acclaim and commercial success. Edge of Reality currently has two teams working on two different unannounced projects Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PS3.
Edge of Reality has been fortunate enough to be part of multiple hit commercial titles. As a result, the studio has a stable future. Edge of Reality is completely independent. As such, we are free to work with any publisher, on any platform.
The Studio
The vast majority of the studio is comprised of highly skilled veteran talent. There are no ego battles at Edge of Reality. Everyone works hard together for the common purpose of making the best games possible. The tools and engine are proprietary and thus, highly customizable. They have comprehensive Maya based world-building tools that enable the designer and artist to run with their vision. It is a proprietary toolset that gives simple access to sophisticated systems like AI, cinemas, and scenario design. This system removes the barriers between the designer and the implementation of their goals.
The studio has shipped 11 games over 10 years. The commercial success of these games has provided long-term stability for the company. The chemistry of the studio is very positive. The studio is located in the hill country with a beautiful view of the Austin Greenbelt's lush green countryside, just 30 minutes from downtown Austin.
The Company
As Edge of Reality has grown, so too has the scope of its projects. Through the years, we have been fortunate enough to create relationships with the most successful publishers in the world. The quality of our games is the single most important thing to us. To maintain this vision and to maintain the success of the studio, we have limited ourselves to no more than two games in development at any time. We feel that anything more than that would jeopardize our focus, and therefore the quality of our studio.
Our commitment to creating quality games is why publishers trust us with their most important properties.
