The THG Alpha is being constructed!

We have been working on a way to allow our fans, supporters, and Titanic enthusiasts to explore our Titanic recreation as it's being built. In a continuation of the vision we had for THG back in 2021, but in a way that's more appropriate for the way we're building the ship and the stage this process is at, the Titanic: Honor & Glory Alpha will be set in the shipyard of Harland and Wolff! Don't just watch our progress in the odd post, EXPLORE our virtual Titanic as we build it, in the gantry, in a recreation of the yard where it all came to be! And the best part? You'll be able to do so for FREE!

What are some things you'll be able to see and do in this Alpha?

Visit the Titanic as she's built, with the ability to walk her unfinished decks and climb around the structure. As we create more of the ship, more elements will be added in updates, allowing players to not just read about this progress, but experience it for themselves.

Explore the North Yard of Harland and Wolff, including the massive Arrol Gantry. Climb the stairs, walk the catwalks, meander the platforms. Use it to access Titanic's structure or climb it for incredible views of the ship.

Check out places like the Platers' Shed and the Cabinet Shop, facilities that were used to prepare the ship's steel plating and build furnishings. These areas will be used to display structural elements and other large objects relevant to the ship, as well as smaller fittings and furnishings, acting as museum-like spaces for players to learn more about various aspects of Titanic and to see what we're working on long before it's put on the ship.

Hop over to the Main Offices (in their 1912/1913 form), including the two famous drawing rooms. Here you'll be able to see plans in the drawing rooms or visit areas like the cozy Consultation Room, where you'll find information on THG and our process for building the ship.

Set the time of day to your liking! Day mode, night mode– ANY time you want!

Change the weather to whatever suits you, from rain and snow to foggy, cloudy, or clear days! Run around Titanic's towering structure as it snows, or relax and soak up the vibes on a rainy day at the shipyard.

Experience a world alive with the men who built Titanic! Builders and foremen walking about and working on the ship, designers in the offices!

The Alpha's first release will be FREE for everyone, with the yard and structure as it currently stands available for all from the start, with our Deckhands-and-above ($12+) Patrons getting EARLY access to new updates, and a few other exclusive odds and ends for all Patrons (more on that when the time comes). Eventually, the ship will reach a point where it'll leave the gantry and progress enough to exit this Alpha phase of THG. Still, until then, you'll be able to experience the reconstruction of the Titanic at no cost.

We're aiming for early 2026 for the first release. In the meantime, we will post public as well as early and exclusive updates and sneak-peeks for Patrons here and especially on the Patrons' Discord server. We'll also make a couple of previous sneak-peaks public, so look for those, and stay tuned for further updates on the THG Alpha!

Titanic: Honor & Glory Alpha Teaser

Introducing the new Titanic: Honor & Glory Alpha, currently being developed and aiming for early 2026! Join us on our journey to virtually rebuild Titanic! Walk the decks and structure of the great liner as more and more is done. See the shipyard where the real ship was constructed in a tiny slice of late 1900s Belfast, set the mood of your meanderings, and even learn a bit about both the real history of Titanic's construction and THG's own efforts to recreate her. The Alpha will be FREE for all with early access to updates for Patrons who are Deckhands and above, until the ship eventually reaches a certain level of completion.

You’re turning this game/sim into a career. I would imagine by now at least 5% of your potential customers have already passed away.

Once the updates keep coming will you be able to go back to previous construction points?

Ilias Georgiou

This is insane, I can’t believe it’s finally happening and can’t wait to see where this goes next!

Should be interesting exploring some new aspects of the ships construction site.

The ultimate excuse coming winter to stay indoors glued to my screen ;) #hourswellspent

Please, friends, early access for Christmas just for backers! Thank you.

Hi THG Team, I'm a long term fan of the project and are really excited for this next step. That being said: From experience I know how hard it can be to release something unfinished to the entire world. The imperfections are right there, in front of everyone. The temptation to "just fix this one little thing" is enormous and it takes an incredible amount of self control and project management to stay the course and not spend all the time on fixing, ultimately irrelevant, details. If this is to be a success some complaints will have to go unanswered. People will fall through the gantry or get stuck or have horrendous rendering issues in one of the houses. In the past we've seen how difficult it is to maintain a high standard throughout. 401 was worked on for an eternity instead of a few weeks to cobble everything together and release it as is. I wish you all the best and hope this works out as envisioned

I had access to one of the very early Alphas, it was superb....But my PC at the time couldn't cope. So excited to see the progress. How does one sign up? Coming soon?

Carter Rhodes

Congratulations to the team on this huge milestone! Looks absolutely stunning!

Blayne Fitzpatrick

Beautiful work. The finished version of this should be a permanent part of the museum in Belfast. Would love to see it featured there.

Jakob Kokalj

Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏 Will check tomorrow again, making sure I am not dreaming about it. 🤣 It was my entire life a dream to explore the mighty vessel. Can't wait for future updates. No pressure gentlemen. See ya on the Aroll gantry and slipway no.3 😍🤩🧐

Michael Turner

Looks incredible, I don’t live far from the yard so this Will be fun to explore.

Watch the ship grow is incredible and another milestone but will also take a lot of ressources and extra time from the team + y have to create the fitting out wharf, Thompson Graving dock and move the alpha modell out off the Arrol Gantry if y want to make it 99% realistic - guess thats the plan? :) Free means the Steam Release is free too? Looking forward for any P401 news.

Martin B.

I fear that P401 will not be finished as announced in the 2023 feature poster and all work goes into the Alpha/ shipyard now for years to come.

Alexander Jäger

I would be fine with that. Sometimes you gotta make these decisions. No hard feelings there. However it's important to learn from them for the future. I worry more that the alpha work will also get bogged down in "quality creep" of the literal scaffolding. My personal choice would have been to display the ongoing work in a white nothing or a static environment.

Julia Mono

This is very very exciting :). Thank you <3

Dr. Tom Recher

Is TH&G going to eventually become a full fledged game to walk around and interact in? All of this is awesome so I’m not complaining. Just curious :)

Martin B.

I just noticed that the ALPHA is now listed on the STEAM store for a 2026 release (no date yet).
