Minion Rush Gets Major Update with Unity Engine Switch

If there's any Gameloft release that has exceeded expectations in terms of longevity, it's undoubtedly Minion Rush. Before Despicable Me graced the silver screen, few would have predicted that a French animated film from a relatively unknown studio would capture global attention. Yet, it did, and now Gameloft is gearing up to launch what they're calling the 'biggest update yet' for Minion Rush.

This update is a clear signal that Gameloft sees a long future ahead for Minion Rush. A significant part of this update involves transitioning the game to the Unity engine, which promises a substantial visual upgrade for the seasoned endless runner. Alongside this, players can look forward to a more streamlined user interface and an array of exciting new features.

One of the most anticipated additions is the endless runner mode, which has surprisingly taken this long to be implemented. Now accessible directly from the main menu, this mode introduces new boosters and extensive player customization options. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer, the ability to personalize your player profile with custom nicknames, avatars, and frames adds a fresh layer of engagement.

This update has been eagerly awaited to bring Minion Rush up to speed with modern devices and player expectations. With its arrival, there's little room for complaints. The Hall of Jam is another exciting feature that enhances progression rewards, offering G-Coins, Minion stickers to upgrade or unlock costumes, story puzzle pieces, gadgets, and more. Additionally, players can explore new power-ups like the Disco-boot, Bouncer, Rocket Blade, and Minion Armor.
