What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Our Early Access version is intended to gradually add features until the full release. We plan for the full version to include a refined and full-featured core gameplay loop, all marine transportation features and mechanics, and enhanced artwork.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In the current state, players can enjoy independent realistic routes, refined company simulation, a detailed logistics system, global map layers, dynamic economic simulation, and realistic ship models.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price until the final release as we ship new content and features.”

INTRODUCTION

Global Magnates: Shipping Tycoon is a maritime simulation game set against the backdrop of the transformative 1960s, and the unchanging and yet ever-changing waters of the world's vast oceans. Your canvas is the open ocean when the shipping container had just been invented! Your mission, as a self-made business magnate, is to build your own shipping empire through meticulous planning.

About This Game

Open up a well-planned route

For any shipping company, one of the core business elements is carefully planned routes. By understanding the supply and demand of various ports and planning a lucrative route, your shipping business will grow into a global empire. Route planning is the tireless pursuit of every shipping company, and this is also one of your core ways to generate profit.

Developing Your Empire in The Face of Competition

You will face competition from rival companies, under the direction of AI, which may attempt a takeover or annexation of your company. Otherwise, the rival companies may run you out of business through intense competition. Before they develop, quickly accumulate your own wealth, buy your own ports, invest in shipyards, and invest in your fleet. Outthinking AI on logistics, the current economic situation, resource allocation, and investment strategies will increase your chances of winning and becoming a global, veritable shipping empire.

Refined Company Simulation

Purchase and manage ships, formulate routes and transportation plans, and more! You will need to allocate resources reasonably according to market demand and both global and local economic circumstances.

Detailed Logistics

As you build your logistics empire, you will be able to choose between cargo ships and container ships as you build your fleet. With cargo ships, you will customize your cargo load and the most optimal route. Container ships, with their efficiency and modular design, will require you to formulate the best route. As you develop your company, you will strive to maximize profits and watch your assets appreciate! Your corporate assets can be both tangible and intangible—technology, capital, cash reserves, reputation, and more!
