  • Minion Rush is set to receive its most significant update to date
  • The upgrade transitions the popular runner game to Unity, introducing fresh capabilities
  • Endless runner mode is now fully launched, featuring new boosters and character personalization

Few Gameloft releases have maintained relevance longer than Minion Rush. Before Despicable Me premiered in theaters, few anticipated that a French animated film from a relatively unknown studio would captivate global audiences. Yet it succeeded spectacularly, and Gameloft now prepares to launch what they call Minion Rush's largest-ever update.

This substantial update demonstrates Gameloft's long-term commitment to Minion Rush's future. The game now transitions to the Unity engine, delivering a comprehensive visual transformation for this established runner title.

Beyond technical improvements, players will discover a refined user interface and key enhancements. Among these is the highly anticipated endless runner mode! Surprisingly, this feature remained absent until now, but players can immediately access it from the main menu.

While some might argue this modernization update arrived later than expected, current players will find little to criticize. The update introduces personalized player profiles where you can display custom nicknames, avatar images, and decorative frames.

Another innovation is the Hall of Jam, which provides enhanced progression rewards including G-Coins, Minion stickers for costume upgrades, narrative puzzle fragments, gadgets, and various collectibles. New power-ups like the Disco-boot, Bouncer, Rocket Blade, and Minion Armor further expand gameplay possibilities.
