These Agents are putting everything on the line for their Faction, with the maximum level of effort. Great work, folks! We admire you! 💪

The time is now: the Erased Memories Series will be decided in the next 3 hours.

Nashville, Tennessee, USA is the theatre of the final XM Anomaly of the Season and of 2024. In this last quarter, Enlightened and Resistance battled it out in one Global Challenge, 57 Skirmishes, 2 XM Anomalies (the third one starting now) and 2 Bounty Blitzes, none of them managing to secure the victory in advance.

It all led to this precise moment.
Assuming that all 40 points of the Covert Cache will be assigned, the Enlightened need 63.9 points to win the Series, the Resistance needs 162.3 points to stop them and clinch the victory for themselves. We are on the edge of our seats, with the breathtaking finale of the previous season still vivid in our minds.

Agents, make your Factions proud! It's time to move. It's time for the Erased Memories Finale!

Niantic released Ingress Prime v2.157.2!

This update, which follows a major overhaul to the rendering pipeline of the game, aims at fixing a collateral issue that was introduced by the previous update and reported by Agents, notably the insufficient transparency of multilayered Fields.

Additionally, an option to allow swiping between Daily and Campaign tabs on the Dispatch menu was added.

The update is rolling out to Android users in the next few days, while it should be available for iOS users.

💚💙A Beacon of Unity – For Magdeburg

Dear Agents,

at the initiative of Agent @ViridisLupus, here's a call to action:

Yesterday, we were shocked by terrible news: An attack hit the Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany.
Our thoughts are with the victims and their families.
In these difficult hours, we show what our Ingress community is made of:
Unity, compassion, and the power to do good.

Let's make a statement!
We call on you: Place a beacon today at 11 AM UTC.
Whether you're Enlightened or Resistance, let's together light a beacon of hope that never fades.
A beacon that says: "We stand together, we are strong, and we will not be defeated by hate and violence, nor driven into fear!"

We, the Ingress COMM, are more than just a game.
Ingress connects us across borders. A beacon for Magdeburg, a beacon for all those affected by violence.

@IUENG

The 'Countdown to 2025' Event starts today! Every day at midnight until Dec 31st, Niantic will propose a daily campaign, each having two sets of two bounties. Complete at least one bounty in each set to obtain a reward item!

As most of you know, and have discussed about in our chat, the newly introduced overhaul to Ingress' rendering pipeline also introduced a small bug which caused the ornaments of the Layers functionality to be displayed over the core of portals, instead of behind them.

Alex Stamm, technical artist at Niantic, in a reply to a Resistance Agent on Twitter, stated that the bug has been found, triaged and a fix will be deployed with the next Ingress Update.

P.S. We posted this screenshot earlier on @IUENG_Extra, where we post short-form content and breaking news before editing for @IUENG.
For example, daily updates for the Assignments of the current Countdown to 2025 event can be found there, so come visit!

💚💙 2025 is almost here and what better way to welcome the new year than creating beautiful field art with fellow agents!

Today's operation in Saint-Etienne, France brought together some agents who turned their city into a canvas of links and fields in an early tribute to the year that's about to start!

The field art is still standing! Check it out on the Intel Map!

Special thanks to this incredible team for sharing their SITREP!
