Niantic published the release notes for a new update to Ingress, v2.120.1!

In this version, the team updated the Overclock UI and fixed some of the issues regarding the placement of the Tesseract in AR. They also reworked the order of modules in the New Agent Training.

Additionally, a dismissable ad for C.O.R.E. was added to the inventory screen. This will be visible to non-subscribers who are getting close to the 2000 item limit.

@IUENG
After the newest 2.120.1 updated arrived on the phones of Agents, a few additional changes have been observed.

- You can now buy 10 Power Cubes for 1000 CMU directly from the Power Cube menu that can be accessed via the button under your XM tank.

- If you have subscribed to C.O.R.E., the banner advertising it in the store is now hidden.

@IUENG
Niantic has announced that, starting on August 28th, the price of C.O.R.E. will be raised to $7.99 (or local currency equivalent).

To compensate for the increase, the CMU grant will be raised from 2,500 CMU to 10,000 CMU. The new price would be perfectly aligned with a pack of 10000 CMU, given the current price of a 15000 CMU pack, which means that the effective value of C.O.R.E. increases.

The company states that the decision to move forward with this change was influenced by global inflation, economic changes and their LA Studioโ€™s recent restructuring. (Increases in price from app stores are out of Niantic's control)

The new C.O.R.E. benefits will include:

๐Ÿ”ธSubscriber Medal
๐Ÿ”ธCodename flair
๐Ÿ”ธ+500 inventory capacity

The monthly item kit:
๐Ÿ”ธ10,000 CMU (up from 2,500 CMU)
๐Ÿ”ธ2 Rare Kinetic Capsules
๐Ÿ”ธ2 Apex
๐Ÿ”ธ10 Hypercubes
๐Ÿ”ธ20 XMPs
๐Ÿ”ธ20 Resonators
๐Ÿ”ธ1 ITO EN (+)
๐Ÿ”ธ1 ITO EN (-)
๐Ÿ”ธ1 SoftBank Ultra Link
๐Ÿ”ธ1 Very Rare Battle Beacon (if recursed)

IUENG has received a list of 100+ employees that were affected by the recent layoffs at Niantic and who are looking for new work.

With a heavy heart we announce that, in addition to Ethan, the NL-1331 van driver, the Senior Software Engineer Ofer was also laid off.

Ofer joined the team in 2018 and was known as ofer2 on the Ingress Community Forums. He often gave a unique look behind the scenes regarding new features as well as some of the issues that Agents had questions about.

We want to wish him the very best in his future endeavors.

Quint Arrow

The Quint Arrow is a bar located in Chuo City in Tokyo. Within it, you can see a small model of a Portal and a big screen which are both connected to and show the live status of the Portal in the bar! After last year's Epiphany Dawn anomaly in Yokohama, the NIA has installed a special module called a Tecthulhu into the bar to allow interfacing with the XM network.

The module was first seen during the Camp Navarro event in 2017 during which Agents got access to such a module. Since then, it has appeared at a few other events and at places outside of events as well, such as in the Quint Arrow.

Our outside correspondent visited the Quint Arrow bar a few days ago and documented this strange XM technology and how it reacts to changes in the XM network. You can see their report here:

The GIF above shows what happens when the Portal the module is attached to is attacked.

Exciting news for Ingress Agents!

Kawashima Masashi is being promoted to Product Manager after 10 years in Niantic, having previously worked Ingress as a designer in 2013, focusing on the early story and game design and moving on to be the Asia-Pacific director of a little known game called Pokemon GO, essentially being responsible for it's creation. Together with director Brian Rose and a new team, they're ready to take on new challenges, while aiming at making Ingress a Forever Game.

Kawashima credits the supportive agents and the special allure of Ingress for keeping him passionate about the game.

Judging by this article, it's also likely that one of the former employees who worked on the lore of the game will also re-join the project. This means that new game lore might be on the way!

Mark your calendars for September 16th, as both Brian Rose and Kawashima Masashi will fly in from the US to attend the Ctrl Kobe Anomaly.
