The rumour mill picked up again after the Tokyo anomaly when 4Gamer interviewed Niantic and the Google Translate into English came back talking about a new faction and extra activity for level 16 (game cap) agents to do. In reality the colour red is already used in the game, to show the portal dying, and because of that we’re as likely to see Niantic pick red for a new team colour. This effect gave rise to the idea of keeping the portal red. In Ingress when a Enlightened (green) or Resistance (blue) portal falls to XMP burster fire it flares red for a second or two before becoming grey again. The early rumours of a new faction – the red team – were a joke that morphed into a rumour. It’s unlikely we’ll ever see a third Faction, that’s probably a good thing, and this article will explore why. The rumours are back again thanks to Niantic actually talking about a third faction and the Via Lux plot appearing to introduce a group known as the New Wave. There have been rumours of a third faction being added to Niantic’s Ingress since the beginning of the game.
