Ingress Prime

Niantic, the company behind Pokémon Go, has announced a new project for 2018. It is precisely a review of Ingress, its first game that combined augmented reality and location creating an environment of futuristic warfare.

The new version will be called Ingress Prime, and it aims to take this first game to a higher level. To begin with, it will take advantage of the technology developed for Pokémon Go, favoring an improvement in gameplay.

Also the graphics will be improved, offering an augmented reality experience more in keeping with our times.Recent advances in mobile technologies will also help, and thanks to Google's ARCore or Apple's ARKit, the result will be more optimized for the devices that support it.

We know little else about this game, apart from this trailer that Niantic has published through the Ingress YouTube channel:

It doesn't display any screenshots, so we can't anticipate anything exact about its new interface. Yes, we can confirm that the game will maintain the appearance of portals, as in the original, and that dark aura that characterized it. Within the story, a world of the future is headed inexorably to a confrontation as a major conspiracy is revealed.

Niantic, backlog

The original Ingress caught the attention of companies like The Pokémon Company, who invested for Niantic to use its technology in the highly popular Pokémon GoAfter the success achieved, they were called on again to develop a new project that is part of the Harry Potter franchise, still in progress.

In the midst of all this hustle and bustle, Niantic has continued to develop the new version of its debut. Let's hope that Ingress Prime arrives on our mobiles in early 2018 For now, we can only wait for the company to offer us new clues.
