If there's any game that has defied expectations with its longevity, it's Minion Rush from Gameloft. Launched before the cinematic success of Despicable Me, few anticipated that a French animated film from a lesser-known studio would capture hearts worldwide. Yet, it did, and now Gameloft is gearing up to launch what they're calling Minion Rush's 'biggest update yet'.
This monumental update signifies Gameloft's commitment to sustaining Minion Rush for the long haul. A key aspect of this update is the transition to the Unity engine, which promises a significant visual upgrade for this seasoned endless runner. The shift to Unity not only enhances the graphics but also introduces a streamlined user interface alongside other exciting features.
One of the most anticipated additions is the endless runner mode, which is now officially available. Surprisingly, it's taken this long to integrate, but players can now dive straight into this mode from the main menu. The update also brings new boosters and extensive player customization options, allowing you to personalize your gaming experience with new nicknames, avatars, and frames.
This long-awaited update is tailored to refresh Minion Rush for today's devices and players. In addition to the visual and gameplay enhancements, the Hall of Jam feature offers increased progression rewards, including G-Coins, Minion stickers for upgrading or unlocking costumes, story puzzle pieces, gadgets, and more. Players can also explore new power-ups like the Disco-boot, Bouncer, Rocket Blade, and Minion Armor.
