With these new skills, Agents will then face a choice to align with The Enlightened or The Resistance, two distinct factions with individual philosophies, and will capture and defend portals to control the area around them. After completion, Agents will understand how to control Portals and acquire the powerful resource, Exotic Matter (XM). The new interactive training program will be an introduction to the global game board, how to uncover Portals (disguised as landmarks of cultural significance in the real-world), basic gameplay mechanics, and the storyline.

We’ve spent six years working to build upon the Ingress world, and we are excited to share how Ingress Prime has innovated upon the original’s massively multiplayer gameplay, narrative integration, and real-world experiences for both new and veteran Agents.Īlongside quality-of-life upgrades such as new quick-swipe menus, inventory management, one-finger map gestures, Facebook account-linking and improved anti-cheat and security features, new Agents will undergo a comprehensive onboarding system. We also implemented critical learnings gained from Pokémon GO and Ingress to publish an experience we are proud of. The pioneering technology found within Ingress has not only created an engaging foundational game that blended Augmented Reality and location-based gaming in a compelling way, but has also paved the way for other explosive hits such as Pokémon GO.Īfter listening to feedback and pushing back our launch as a result, we were able and will continue to address gameplay design and quality concerns from our playtest communities. Ingress launched in 2012, and now, more than 20 million downloads later, Agents in more than 200+ countries have participated in more than 2,000 real-world events and visited more than 1.2 billion Portals. Agents, we have greatly appreciated the outpour of enthusiasm for this new chapter of the Ingress story.
