At the After Party in Yokosuka, Niantic announced a new test on Shards infrastructure! This test will take place at Mikasa Park (Yokosuka, Japan) on February 16th, starting at 15:30 and ending at 16:30 (local time).
A restocking portal will be active inside the park from 15:20 to 16:30.

As this is a test, the scores of the +Alpha Series will not be affected.

According to those who attended the After Party, it was also said that the changes in this test, if effective, will be brought to Tucson, AZ, USA for the Anomaly on February 22nd!

πŸ—£ Rumors report of talks between Niantic and Saudi-owned Scopely for the sale of the former's games division.

Bloomberg reports that Niantic has entered talks for the sale of their video-game business for an estimated $3.5 billion, with a potential verdict coming in the next few weeks. Pokemon Go is included in the talks as well as "other mobile games", although there is no assurance yet that a deal will be reached at all.

As members of the community have pointed out, Scopely is known for games such as Monopoly GO which are criticized as being pay to win, filled with ads and other anti-consumer practices.

⚠️ While this news may sound less then stellar for Ingress, do note that:
- This is an unconfirmed report
- This deal has not been finalized and could fall through
- Ingress may not be included in the sale


At this point, any potential consequences for Ingress are speculation and should not be taken at face value.

Niantic is updating their app to comply with upcoming changes to the Google Play Integrity API!

Next monday on February 24th, after the Tucson anomaly, Niantic will switch to the new Play Integrity API that was recently announced by Google which promises better detection while also being more reliable. As part of the change Niantic will lower detection from checking for "Strong" device integrity to the new "Basic" device integrity.

As per the definition from Google, Basic device integrity will be given to physical devices that run Android, but "may not meet Android compatibility requirements". This includes devices with an unlocked bootloader or a custom Android OS.

This basically means that once the integrity checks are updated more Android devices will be given access to Ingress! If you have a device that cannot pass the Strong integrity check currently you may be able to use it to play Ingress soon.

If you want to check if your device will pass the new checks, you can download this app and start an integrity check. Once the check has concluded, make sure to see if you get a checkmark for "MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY". If you are running Android 13 or above, make sure to switch to "New A13+ checks" after the check is complete. If you can currently run Ingress then you phone will be able to run the Scanner after the change as well.

Note: While the Play Integrity API still gives out a "Basic" verdict when the phone is rooted, Ingress uses additional, separate checks to detect rooted phones and disables access to the Scanner for them.

iOS devices are not affected by this change.

February 27th is National Toast Day, and Ingress is prepared to celebrate!

On February 27th a special campaign will be made available to Agents featuring "simple Bounties" which will award Toast Beacons once completed.

In addition, you'll be able to purchase the Toast Day 2022 medal if you haven't already done so in the past.

The ripple created by the Toast Day 2025 announcement has knocked the Mission module of the Scanner offline and sent it into another timeline!

Agents are currently unable to search for nearby Missions via the Mission menu in the Scanner. Niantic is aware and is working on a solution.

If you find the portal where a Mission begins you can start it from there in the meantime.

πŸ’ͺ Agent @Himav sent us his report from the GORUCK Stealth Ops in Tucson, AZ, USA!

Agents from both Factions tackled various challenges including physical ones, trivia questions about astronomy and a cards game!
The cadre organized a total of 5 challenges and in the end the score came to a total of...

ENL 3 - 2 RES

This means that the Factions have obtained the following Series Points

ENL 4.2 - 2.8 RES

Congratulations, Agents! Now it's time to rest for the GORUCK Urban Ops!

In the meantime, the GORUCK Urban Ops challenge is ongoing in Tucson, Arizona!

12 Agents are involved in this event which will assign 7 Series Points with some physical and mental exercises.

The event should end by 13:00 local time, right before the Anomaly begins!

πŸ’ͺ The GORUCK Urban Ops have concluded in Tucson!

It was a nail-biter, with the 7th and final challenge being the decider on which Faction would be the winner!
In the end, the Enlightened clinched the win by
ENL 4 - 3 RES
which is also the amount of Series Points that the Factions will obtain.

Big congratulations to these 12 ruckers! Now, the stage is set for the +Alpha Anomaly to begin: only 35 minutes to go until the start!

Good luck Agents! Make your Faction proud in Tucson!
Huge thanks to @Himav for his reporting!

The +Alpha Anomaly in Tucson ends in this moment!

It's been 3 hours of intense battle between Enlightened and Resistance. We hope great fun was had by everyone involved on the ground and remotely!
Now it's time to wind down and enjoy the after-party! 🍻

Scores should get published soon! We are going to post them here as soon as they are available.
