​​The new Ingress anime

Original work by Niantic
Director: Yuhei Sakuragi
Production: Craftar
Each episode: 30 minutes

Ingress will be receiving its own anime series which is set to begin airing October 2018. This is what the plot says:

Now, a new struggle is about to unfold in Tokyo and across the globe. Dangerous and powerful forces seeking to exploit the potential of XM will collide

The official site of the anime writes "This groundbreaking project will mark the beginning of an epic augmented-reality experience combining the three elements of animation, location-based gaming, and the real world".

In particular, at the announcement of the anime the producer explained that it will be cross platform: the game story and the animation will interlock in real time. The world of Scanner will suffered by story of animation, and reverse direction also.

Producers think that after watching an episode in our houses, we will want to go out and play Ingress. What do you think about it?

The astrophysicist Stephen Hawking sadly passed away,
We want to remember him with perhaps his most famous sentence.

«Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet... And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at.»

PAC remembered him with this post http://investigate.ingress.com/2018/03/13/a-dice-thrown-where-we-cannot-see/
