Niantic released some insights about the inspiration behind the design of this medal series:
The series of Winter Solstice medal arts pays homage to the ancient astronomers of Chaco Canyon who created the Sun Dagger. At the Sun Dagger, two beams of light precisely bracket the main spiral petroglyph during the winter solstice, marking the shortest day of the year. This astronomical event is part of a complex calendar system used by the ancestral Pueblo people to track the movements of the sun and moon for agricultural and ceremonial purposes.

🎄 The Hackvent Calendar is back! 🎄
Agents, the call goes out once more: Christmas is in danger and Anti-Claus is at work again. Small sparks of joy are vanishing, and tiny misfortunes grow into real disasters – this is not the future we want, and it is up to us to change course together. Remember the world we are striving for; with every action you take, you help push things back towards hope and light.
Every day for 24 days, you will receive missions: some game-based stats tasks, some creative challenges, all designed so every agent can contribute in their own way. You can upload your results either through the Telegram bot or directly on the website, and all tasks will be available in 🇬🇧🇪🇸🇫🇷🇩🇪🇯🇵🇵🇹 so agents around the globe can join the fight.
Ready to stand against Anti-Claus and save Christmas again?

The +Beta Buildup Battle ends and the Global Op Redux starts!
A few minutes ago, the +Beta Buildup Battle has concluded, and Agents are now anxiously waiting for the results to be published. They will be announced within a week from now.
As we say goodbye to a very hard fought Global Challenge which can determine the destiny of the +Beta Series given the amount of +Beta Season Points at stake, a new set of campaigns has unlocked on our scanners! It's time for the Global Op Redux!
This set of paid campaigns will allow Agents to obtain the Global Op medal from previous Series, or get the Wings of Recursion for your Silver Tier Medal if you already achieved it during the original Op.

The Ingress team has revealed more details about the previously announced C.A.R.G.O. feature!
With the release of Scanner Version 3.1, C.A.R.G.O. will be available in the in-app Store for a cost of 3,500 CMU each. Each C.A.R.G.O. increases inventory capacity by 100 slots for 30 days from the date of acquisition. Agents may acquire up to five C.A.R.G.O. simultaneously, with each C.A.R.G.O. operating on an independent 30-day timer.
Once bought, the inventory expansion is automatically applied and their remaining duration can be checked in the Scanner Settings. As with C.O.R.E., if C.A.R.G.O. expires and you are over the inventory limit you will need to delete or use items to be able to hack portals or redeem passcodes again.

The exact details of how isn't known, but going by the phrasing of "many more Agents" it is likely that there will be a way for Agents to access it globally.

Niantic announced a new Campaign that will run from December 16th, 2025 to February 5th, 2026: Operation Polaris!
The Campaigns will be based around completing Daily Bounties, and will award a tiered medal, its tier increasing after each of the three Assignments.
Each of the Assignments is structured in the same way:
🔸Complete 13 Daily Bounties
🔸Complete 26 Daily Bounties
🔸Complete 39 Daily Bounties
🔸Complete 52 Daily Bounties
Repeat three times to level up the Operation Polaris badge to Bronze, Silver and Gold.
The challenge runs for 52 days, and completing 52 Daily Bounties takes 13 days if none are skipped, meaning that the minimum time to complete all three tiers is 39 days.
You will need to complete an average of 3 Bounties per day to stay on pace towards Gold.
