- Minion Rush is gearing up for its most significant update to date
- The migration to Unity engine brings upgraded visuals and fresh gameplay elements
- Experience the newly launched endless runner mode featuring power-ups and character customization
Few mobile games have enjoyed Minion Rush's unexpected longevity. When Despicable Me first premiered, few predicted this French animated film from an unknown studio would become a global phenomenon. Yet here we are, with Gameloft preparing to launch what they're calling Minion Rush's 'most substantial update ever'.
This transformative update signals Gameloft's long-term commitment to Minion Rush. The game's transition to Unity represents more than just an engine change - it brings a complete visual makeover to this seasoned runner.
Beyond enhanced graphics, players will discover a refined interface and exciting additions like the much-anticipated endless runner mode. Surprisingly absent until now, this feature is conveniently accessible from the main menu.
BananaWhile some might argue this modernization was overdue, the wait appears justified given the quality improvements. Personalization options expand with customizable profiles featuring nicknames, avatars, and decorative frames.
The new Hall of Jam rewards system introduces G-Coins, character stickers for unlocking outfits, narrative puzzle pieces, and special gadgets. Players can also experiment with fresh power-ups including the Disco-boot, Bouncer, Rocket Blade, and Minion Armor.
