Memories of +Alpha

Welcome Resistance friends,

Join us in re-living the epic +Alpha Anomaly Season through photos and videos captured by our amazing Embedded Reporters.

We can’t emphasize enough how important these volunteers are for us and the fantastic contributions they bring to both RGNN and the world!

So make yourself a cup of tea or coffee, get comfortable, and embark with us on the wondrous adventures that you can only experience at an Ingress Anomaly.


The +Alpha Anomaly Season started on 15th February 2025 in the Japanese city of Yokosuka. This charming coastal city is located in Kanagawa Prefecture, just south of Tokyo and Yokohama.

It was a somewhat chilly yet beautiful weekend, and the city was embracing the arriving Ingress agents in a way rarely seen these days…

Of those present, Niantic’s Brian, Sivino and Masashi were onsite to organize pre-anomaly faction registration, the agent swag marketplace & afterparty with a special guest being Yokosuka’s major himself.

Immerse yourselves in the captivating stories kindly presented to us by our Yokosuka Embedded Reporters that have blown our minds away:


The Season continued the very next weekend on 22nd February, in “the Old Pueblo”, or as most of you know it, Tucson. This outdoorsy Arizonian city lies near the west coast of the United States, just north of the Mexican border.

Sunshine accompanied agents throughout the weekend as they explored the artsy downtown, filled with breathtaking murals, different kinds of cacti, and delicious tacos & margaritas.

Niantic’s Brian and Thia as well as others from Niantic’s California offices were present onsite and engaging with agents in a friendly atmosphere. The NL-1331 van made an appearance and brought with it old-school swag that were sold in two special “Lab Sessions”.

We were astonished by the richly colourful photos that were kindly presented by our Tucson Embedded Reporters. We share them unfiltered so that you can join in the wonder:


The Season concluded on 22nd March in the third largest city of Italy, the Campanian capital of Napoli. This is one of the most historically and culturally significant cities in the country.

The mighty Vesuvius stood watch in distance as agents ventured through the old streets of the city centre and the seaside promenade, enjoying all kinds of pizzas, pastas, seafood and Italian coffee.

Niantic’s Hilda joined our agents during the battle and held many lovely chats at the Resistance afterparty. An impromptu stats competition was held at the OCF finish on Sunday with swag rewards.

We love seeing smiling faces of the many agents having fun and enjoying themselves at the Anomaly sites and there were many captured that weekend, have a look for yourself:


This was the +Alpha Anomaly Season in Q1 2025, a great season full of thrilling events and great fun! See you at the next one – see the upcoming Anomaly Events at https://www.willbe.blue/anomalies-events/
