In November 2015, game producers Thomas Lynskey and Matthew DeWinkeleer went on an 11-day research trip to England. As of January 1, 2016, the forums are still unavailable. By the next day, however, the forums had been taken down for unknown reasons. That same day, the official forums were launched. During the podcast, several preview screenshots of the current state of the Grand Staircase were released. On July 30, 2015, a podcast was held to provide updates on the project. The demo can be downloaded from the official homepage.
On April 7, 2015, a playable walk-through demo was released, which featured a few select areas of the ship including the D-Deck Reception, Scotland Road, and the Turkish Bath. It showed an early sinking animation of the D-Deck Reception in close to real-time. On Mathe first preview of the game in Unreal Engine 4 was uploaded to YouTube. Since then, the team has switched to using Unreal Engine 4 for development of the game. At that time, the team was using CryEngine 3 to develop the game. On Decemthe first preview of the game was released, showing a fly through of the Grand Staircase.
DevelopmentÄevelopment of the game began in November 2012, after the cancellation of the Titanic: Lost in the Darkness mod for Crysis 2.

Bruce Ismay, John Jacob Astor IV, Benjamin Guggenheim, Lawrence Beesley, Wallace Hartley and his orchestra, Masabumi Hosono, Joseph Laroche, Helen Candee, the Sage Family and the Guarantee Group. Those confirmed are Captain Edward John Smith, Thomas Andrews, J.
Historical characters, mostly passengers and crew are to be included. The sole player character is Owen Robert Morgan, who is fictional along with the antagonist for the game. Central to the story is the transatlantic maiden voyage of Titanic, while an explorable model of the city of Southampton is to be developed (with plans for Belfast and Queenstown, Ireland Cherbourg, France and New York City). Titanic: Honor and Glory is set in April 1912 from the tenth to the fifteenth of the month or possibly even later to depict the arrival of RMS Carpathia in New York and the aftermath surrounding the eponymous disaster. Deck games and passenger services will also be available. The latter will allow players to experience the Titanic together. It will include two sub-modes: Sinking Mode and Voyage Mode. The last game mode planned is Multiplayer Mode which is still in the concept stage.
The next mode, Simulator Mode, will give the player the opportunity to sail the Titanic and possibly other ships on the open ocean. The most prominent is Tour Mode, which will allow the player to explore both the ship and the city of Southampton at their leisure without the restrictions of Story Mode. There are three additional game modes planned to be included in the game. Once the Titanic hits the iceberg, the player has 2 hours and 40 minutes to completely solve the mystery.
Once the player is on board the ship, the player must perform certain tasks of a real crewman and secure a cabin of his own. After being mistaken for an international criminal, he must board the RMS Titanic in an effort to clear his name and to find the real culprits. The game's story focuses on a 23-year-old American Oxford University graduate named Owen Robert Morgan.
