If there's any Gameloft release that has outlasted expectations, it's undoubtedly Minion Rush. Before Despicable Me graced the big screens, few would have predicted that a French animated film from a lesser-known studio would resonate globally. Yet, it did, and now Gameloft is poised to unveil what they're calling the 'biggest update yet' for Minion Rush.
This monumental update signifies Gameloft's commitment to the longevity of Minion Rush. A key aspect of this update is the transition to the Unity engine, which promises a significant visual upgrade for the game, enhancing its appeal to modern audiences. The shift to Unity not only revamps the game's visuals but also introduces a streamlined user interface and other essential features.
Among these new features is the long-awaited endless runner mode, now accessible directly from the main menu. It's surprising it took this long to be implemented, but it's here now, and it's sure to excite fans. The update also brings new boosters and player customization options, allowing players to personalize their experience with nicknames, avatars, and frames.
This update has been eagerly anticipated to refresh Minion Rush for contemporary devices and players, and its arrival is bound to be well-received. Additionally, the Hall of Jam introduces enhanced progression rewards, including G-Coins, Minion stickers for costume upgrades or unlocks, story puzzle pieces, gadgets, and more. Players can also explore new power-ups like the Disco-boot, Bouncer, Rocket Blade, and Minion Armor.
