Brian Rose is currently holding a meet-up for Agents in Meiji Park (Niantic Park) in Tokyo and has brought with him a special guest: John Hanke, CEO of Niantic Spatial! Both have once again assured Agents that Ingress is here to stay and considered to be a "forever" game.

The Ingress team has revealed the designs for the new medals that will be available in the store during +Beta season (excluding the Halloween 2025 medal). Assuming you buy every new medal the total would come out to 215.600 CMU, or around $108/130€ when buying the 200k CMU pack.

Operation Portal Recon seems to be imminent! You can now head to opr.ingress.com to see the new homepage of Niantic Spatial Recon. While you can attempt to sign in, at the moment it still gives an error so you cannot use Recon yet.

The Ingress team has released Update 2.175.2 into the App Stores.

This update does not bring any new visible features for Agents and focuses on an update to the game engine.

@IUENG_Extra

The same experimental loadout that Niantic has made available on their merch store is now also available for 54k CMU, which is around $29,99 if you buy the 90k CMU pack.

@IUENG_Extra

The loadout on the web store is not advertised as a "First Saturday" loadout anymore, probably because they would not arrive in time for this Saturday.

@IUENG_Extra

We were recently alerted to a security vulnerability in Unity (the game engine we use) that affects Agents on Android, and we have a patch for this CVE in Ingress 2.175.2. Please update to the latest version of Ingress.

Some more information from Unity themselves, the security issue is not the fault of Niantic.

@IUENG_Extra

The Ingress team has just released Update 2.176.1 into the App Stores!

The hack output that appears after hacking a Portal now automatically disappears 2 seconds after it appears, which mimics other toast notifications in the game. You can still tap directly on the output window to dismiss it before that.

🕸 A new Premium Campaign has been announced in the Dispatch screen, tying into Halloween later this month: the Sp1d3r Web 2025 Event!

From the looks of it this Campaign will start on the 13th and will award you with a new Sp1d3r Web 2025 medal for completing it. It also seems like we will see a new livery for the NL-1331 van avatar in the form of the Spider-Van, although it is unclear if this variant of the Avatar will be permanent. It is also unclear how much this Campaign will cost at the moment.

We are awaiting more concrete details from the team and will update you on @IUENG once they are available!

@IUENG_Extra

The team has also revealed the Bounties you need to complete for the Sp1d3r Web Campaign.
