Ingress: The Animation - S01

A project began when scientists found a mysterious substance that can connect directly to the human brain. Known as "Exotic Matter (XM)," this substance has existed since ancient times, shaping human minds and the course of human progress. With this discovery came a struggle between powerful nations and corporate giants. Groups around the world started a secret race to exploit XM. It is both an opportunity and a threat to humanity. Two factions seek to control XM. The Enlightened see XM's power as a gift that deepens human experience and discovery. The Resistance sees XM as a hostile takeover of the human mind, choosing technology as humanity's best path forward. XM and the mystery behind it sit at the center of this battle for humanity's fate. 2018 to now, a new struggle is about to unfold in Tokyo and around the world. Dangerous and powerful forces seeking to exploit XM's potential will collide. This groundbreaking project will mark the start of an epic augmented-reality experience that combines animation, location-based gaming, and the real world.
