Ingress niantic video mind6/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Familiarity with the story isn't essential to gameplay, but it does add staying power to a game that runs the risk of turning tedious over time. With over a year of story to catch up on, entering the world of Ingress may seem daunting. ![]() Ingress recently opened up to all Android users, and plans to expand out to iOS devices in 2014. What makes Ingress distinct is Niantic's narrative ambitions: in the past year, daily updates from the production team through an alternate reality game have introduced players to a sprawling narrative told across websites, videos, novels, live events, and even hidden within the game itself. Ingress isn't the first game to explore this geolocative game mechanic: games like Plundr and Shadow Cities paved the way for Ingress by conditioning "field agents" to take mobile gaming out to the streets. ![]() In Ingress, players compete to capture and connect virtual portals situated at real world locations to control the globe for their team. At its core, the project is a locative mobile game spawned out of an internal skunkworks team based out of the search giant's San Francisco office. It's been over a year since Google introduced the world of Ingress.
