Japan-based Fuji TV announced a new block of anime programming known as “Plus Ultra” which is scheduled to go live on October of 2018. One such project for the block is the anime adaptation of Ingress, the AR game developed by Pokemon GO developer Niantic.
CG animator Sakuragi Yuhei has been appointed series director for the show, while CRAFTAR will be handling animation production duties.
Niantic describes the plot of Ingress as follows:
Our future is at stake. You must choose a side.
A mysterious energy has been unearthed by a team of scientists in Europe. The origin and purpose of this force is unknown, but some researchers believe it is influencing the way we think. We must control it or it will control us.
“The Enlightened” seek to embrace the power that this energy may bestow upon us. “The Resistance” struggle to defend, and protect what’s left of our humanity.
