Operation Moonlit Paths

Agents,


A subtle shift has rippled across the global XM network. NIA researchers hypothesize that where the natural resonance of lavender flora intersects the Portal network, ambient Exotic Matter will thicken significantly along the terrain. This concentrated energy is projected to illuminate hidden trails under the night sky, radiating a luminescence that weakly XM-sensitive individuals would mistake for moonlight. These Moonlit Paths invite Agents to step away from the familiar grid, unravel the mystery of these alignments, and venture deep into the unknown.


The global Moonlit Paths operation begins on 15 July 2026 at 18:00 UTC and concludes on 14 August 2026 at 18:00 UTC.

The free Moonlit Paths Campaign will be available within the Dispatch interface. Completing the Campaign requires fulfilling tasks such as Daily Bounties, claiming Kinetic Programs, and other field activities. Success will award the Moonlit Paths 2026 medal to your Agent profile, along with up to 2,500 Apollo Tokens toward your Apollo Season progression.

The compound effect of these pathways is expected to alter local XM dynamics, disrupting the threshold restraining the number of Kinetic Programs that can be run in parallel. Throughout this operation, NIA researchers anticipate the limit will be increased to 13 concurrent Kinetic Programs, expanding your capacity for item synthesis while navigating the field.


Trust your Scanner over your senses, do not mistake the glow, and see you on the paths.



Agents, your feedback and counsel have been instrumental and continually guide our tactical approach.
