If there's any Gameloft release that has had a longer lifespan than anyone anticipated, it's Minion Rush. Before Despicable Me graced the cinemas, few would have predicted that a French animated film from a relatively unknown studio would make such a significant global impact. However, it did just that, and now Gameloft is gearing up to unveil what they're calling Minion Rush's 'biggest update ever'.

This monumental update signifies Gameloft's commitment to keeping Minion Rush relevant for the long haul. A pivotal change in this update is the transition of Minion Rush to a new engine, Unity. This shift promises a substantial visual upgrade, breathing new life into the game's graphics, which have started to show their age.

But the enhancements don't stop at visuals. The update introduces a streamlined user interface along with several key features, including the much-anticipated endless runner mode. Surprisingly, it has taken this long to add such a fundamental mode, but players can now dive into it directly from the main menu.

This update has been eagerly awaited to modernize Minion Rush for today's devices and players, and now that it's here, it's hard to find any complaints. Alongside the new features, players can now personalize their profiles with custom nicknames, avatars, and frames, adding a personal touch to their gaming experience.

Another exciting addition is the Hall of Jam, which boosts progression rewards. Players can earn G-Coins, Minion stickers to upgrade or unlock new costumes, story puzzle pieces, gadgets, and other collectibles. Moreover, the update introduces new power-ups like the Disco-boot, Bouncer, Rocket Blade, and Minion Armor, offering fresh ways to enhance gameplay.
