The New Year 2025 medal is now available in the store for 2500 CMU! Happy New Year, Agents!

@IUENG_Extra

According to Niantic Support, the last day having no rewards was not a bug and has been "working as intended".

The +Alpha Global Challenge is (kind of) visible in the Campaign tab once your local time hits Sunday! As it only appears on midnight local time we can assume that it'll be another Campaign with local timing.

We will update you once Niantic updates the Campaign tab with the missing text!

@IUENG_Extra

The text has been updated by Niantic. It doesn't confirm anything major, but it does confirm that the Campaign once again counts towards the faction score by completing Bounties.

@IUENG_Extra

If you have subscribed to C.O.R.E. for 48 months, you'll receive the new Quad-Core badge!

@IUENG_Extra

The playbox for the +Alpha anomaly in Yokosuka, Japan has been lit up!

All in all, we had 453 entries.

Niantic has announced the rules for +Alpha while we were asleep!

@IUENG_Extra

Update 2.158.1 has been released for Ingress.

@IUENG_Extra

After being used last in 2020 for the Perpetua Hexathlon, 5 years ago, the Ingress team is using their first party ticketing system again!

Before, Niantic has mostly used a third party site called Splashthat to sell tickets or add-ons to Events, like Swag kits, access to the after party and so on. This has now shifted back to the first party platform Niantic is managing themselves.

At the moment, the "Events" button in the main menu which lead to this first party platform in the past still links to the events news site, but in the future, it might allow Agents to buy tickets directly from the Scanner again.

Attending the after party in Yokosuka? You can get the tickets for the event here: https://tickets.nianticlabs.com/events/#/eventlisting?appId=ingress

@IUENG_Extra

In preperation for the +Alpha Global Campaign three item bundles has been marked as "featured" in the store, including the 5x Kinetic Capsule bundle. This leads us to believe that at least one of the Bounties for the Campaign could involve completing Kinetic Capsule programs.

If you want to prepare, make sure to have one or two Kinetic Capsules ready to claim!
