"Minion Rush Gets Major Update with Unity Engine Switch"

Author:Kristen Update:May 26,2025

If there's any Gameloft release that has defied expectations with its longevity, it's undoubtedly Minion Rush. Before Despicable Me graced the silver screen, few would have predicted the global impact a French animated film from a lesser-known studio would have. Yet, it did, and now Gameloft is ready to unveil what they're calling the 'biggest update ever' for Minion Rush.

This monumental update signifies Gameloft's commitment to keeping Minion Rush relevant and engaging for years to come. The transition to the Unity engine is a game-changer, bringing a significant visual upgrade to the beloved runner game. This shift not only enhances the graphics but also introduces a sleek, user-friendly interface that improves the overall gaming experience.

One of the headline features of this update is the introduction of an endless runner mode. It's surprising it took this long to implement, but it's now easily accessible right from the main menu. Alongside this, the update brings new boosters and extensive player customization options, allowing you to personalize your Minion with unique nicknames, avatars, and frames.

BananaThis update has been eagerly anticipated, and it's clear it was designed to rejuvenate Minion Rush for modern devices and a new generation of players. The Hall of Jam is a fresh addition that boosts progression with rewards like G-Coins, Minion stickers for costume upgrades or unlocks, story puzzle pieces, gadgets, and more. Plus, there are exciting new power-ups to discover, including the Disco-boot, Bouncer, Rocket Blade, and Minion Armor.
