Gameloft's popular endless runner, *Despicable Me: Minion Rush*, has just rolled out an exciting new update themed around the eagerly awaited fourth installment of the Illumination franchise. The film, set to hit U.S. theaters on July 3rd, has already inspired fresh content in the game, available as of now.
The update introduces players to Poppy, a budding villain on a mission to swipe the Honey Badger from Lycee Pas Bon, with the ever-helpful Minions by her side. Alongside this thrilling heist, players can dive into the new World Games Special Mission and deck out their minion in the stylish new Renfield costume.

It's fascinating to reflect on how the original *Despicable Me* film, Studio Illumination's debut feature (with assistance from Paris-based animation studio Mac Guff), launched a blockbuster franchise. *Minion Rush* has been equally triumphant, boasting over a billion downloads and thriving for more than a decade.
Despite some viewers finding Steve Carell's Gru and his iconic yellow Minions a tad annoying, their appeal remains undiminished. With the release of the new film on the horizon, the franchise is poised to reignite enthusiasm among fans and newcomers alike.
