If there's any Gameloft release that has exceeded expectations in terms of longevity, it's Minion Rush. Before Despicable Me graced the big screens, few would have predicted that a French animated film from a relatively lesser-known studio would capture global attention. Yet, it did just that, and now Gameloft is poised to launch what they're calling Minion Rush's 'biggest update ever'.
This significant update is a testament to Gameloft's commitment to the enduring success of Minion Rush. A key aspect of this update is the transition of the game to the Unity engine, which promises a substantial visual upgrade for the game, refreshing its somewhat dated appearance.
Beyond the aesthetic enhancements, the update introduces a streamlined user interface along with several exciting new features. Perhaps the most anticipated addition is the endless runner mode, which, surprisingly, has taken this long to be included. Players can now dive into this mode directly from the main menu.
This update has been eagerly awaited to modernize Minion Rush for today's devices and players. With its arrival, it's unlikely that many will have any complaints. Alongside the new features, players can now personalize their profiles with custom nicknames, avatars, and frames, adding a new layer of individuality to the game.
The Hall of Jam is another fresh addition, offering enhanced progression rewards such as G-Coins, Minion stickers for upgrading or unlocking costumes, story puzzle pieces, gadgets, and other goodies. Players can also explore new power-ups like the Disco-boot, Bouncer, Rocket Blade, and Minion Armor, which add exciting twists to the gameplay.
