Niantic announced the long awaited details about the main event for this Season: Cygnus Shard Storms!

This event will be split across three days: October 17th, October 24th and November 21st.
Each day, 6 cities worldwide will host 3 Shards for a total of 18 cities and 54 shards.

Cities will be chosen 20 days prior to Event day, and will be highlighted on the Intel Map.

Shards will jump on different timings.
Shard 1 - every 30 minutes
Shard 2 - two minutes after Shard 1
Shard 3 - two minutes after Shard 2

Jumps between 1 km and 5 km will award 5 Season Points.
A single jump over 10 km will award 10 Season Points and will stop the Shard from scoring any more points.

35 Season Points are available per Shard, 105 Season Points per site, and 630 Season Points per Event Day.
1890 Season Points in total.

Agents will be able to earn 2500 Cygnus Tokens by hacking a portal where a shard is present.

For more info and details, check out Niantic's blog post: https://ingress.com/news/2026-cygnus-shardstorm

Cygnus Series Predictions now open!

The Cygnus Series is starting in a couple hours.
Do you think you can predict the score of the Series? Prove yourself on the Anomaly Score Predictor, powered by @IUENG! (Even if no anomalies are scheduled for this series ๐Ÿ˜…)

Predictions for the bigger events, such as Series Winner, First Saturdays and the first Cygnus Global Op, will close in 72 hours on October 2nd, so this is your final call to register your predictions for all events in the Cygnus Season! Other events will remain open until 24 hours before their start.

๐Ÿ† A contest based on the leaderboard results will be running here on @IUENG, with loadouts at stake for the top three positions!

๐Ÿ‘‰ https://anomalypredictions.crlb.dev

โš ๏ธ Predictions are not made public, be it during the prediction phase or after the results are available! We do not want to undermine the hard work the organisers and Agents of each event are putting into it by potentially dampening motivation due to "unfavourable" predictions. The data is only visible to admins and will only be used for debugging, if at all.

And obviously, no money or betting is involved in any way. We just want to see who has the best prediction skills regarding Ingress events ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ Ingress Mission Day Khon Kaen, Thailand - November 14th 2026

Agents, mark your calendars!

The first ever MD in Northeastern Thailand (Isan) is upon us! Proudly presented by a very important ambassador, KK the dinosaur, a symbol of Thailand's first dinosaur discoveries!๐Ÿฆ•

If you notice dinosaurs on the street signs, you're not imagining things. Thailand's first dinosaur bones turned up just west of here in the 1970s, and the city has never let anyone forget it. This is also the unofficial capital of Isan, with a university that keeps the cafes full and a lake in the middle of town that's best around sunset. Bring an appetite, because the food is the real reason people stay longer than planned.

During the MD, you'll experience the local lifestyle and hospitality of Isan's friendly heart: the perfect opportunity to meet new agents and create unforgettable memories together.

OpenBanners: a community-built Bannergress reskin

Some of you might remember about this useful community project created by Agent @M1chaeI. We featured the project on this channel about three years ago!
OpenBanners was built as an open-source alternative frontend for Bannergress, and its creator has spent the last couple of weeks rebuilding the website from scratch! The result is a full redesign with quite a lot more under the hood.

You can still find banners near you and browse by place, but now you can also plan a Mission Day, keep personal notes on banners, and compare your to-do lists with other agents, which is handy when youโ€™re coordinating with friends. There are also crowd-sourced passphrases, so the community fills in the gaps together.
Integral part of the platform is the OpenBanners Overlay app: it shows the bannerโ€™s route over Ingress, so you can decide whether you should cross the road in advance while completing your Missions.

The developer is actively looking for feedback and says suggestions get implemented quickly, so if something is missing or annoying, make sure to let them know! Itโ€™s a perfect example of the kind of tool our community builds for everyone.

๐Ÿ‘‰ https://openbanners.org

Many thanks to @M1chaeI for sharing this tool, and massive props to the Bannergress team for their work on the platform which feeds this community-built frontend!

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ธ Ingress Mission Day Novi Sad, Serbia - November 14th 2026

After two years of hard work with the goal of bringing an Ingress Mission Day to Novi Sad, now itโ€™s finally happening!
Agents, join the local Orga and the European Ingress community for a day of missions, unique captures and good company in one of Serbiaโ€™s most beautiful cities!

Novi Sadโ€™s comfortably walkable city centre with its pastel Habsburg-era buildings is waiting to be explored. Among the main points of interest, in Freedom Square youโ€™ll find the neo-Gothic Name of Mary Church and the City Hall, while nearby Dunavska Street is lined with cafรฉs and shops. Just across the Danube stands the mighty Petrovaradin Fortress, the โ€œGibraltar on the Danubeโ€, famous for its reversed-hands clock tower and the cityโ€™s most iconic landmark. With the Danube promenade close by and the hearty local food, itโ€™s a city thatโ€™s as pleasant to explore on foot as it is to play in!

Local swag will also be available at the event!
