Red / Machina Portals

To celebrate the 10 year, a year long event was leaked by GameSpot in an interview with Brian Rose. This interview highlights some of the great accomplishments of Ingress and the difficulties faced in making this game we all love. It celebrates our milestones and the community that we’ve built and in honor of our 10 year, we finally get to have a little fun with a new faction.

Shortly after the LA anomaly concluded, red portals started popping up all over the place. There isn’t a lot known about these portals yet, other than they spread across the board, linking up neutral portals to level. It’s in GameSpots interview that we learn these portals are to be fought over all year by the Res and Enl to see what secrets lie with them. Scoring at this time is unknown, but we are sure to see updates in the future.

A few more details in the interview have us looking forward to what will come this year. Agents I hope to see your amazing stories and appreciation of this game, we all share in common, on social media!
