"Minion Rush Switches to Unity Engine in Major Update"

If there's one Gameloft release that has exceeded all expectations in terms of longevity, it's Minion Rush. Before Despicable Me graced the big screens, few would have anticipated that a French animated film from a relatively unknown studio would make such a significant impact globally. Yet, it did, and now Gameloft is gearing up to launch what they're calling Minion Rush's 'biggest update ever'.

This monumental update signals Gameloft's commitment to sustaining Minion Rush for the long haul. A key highlight of this update is the transition of Minion Rush to the Unity engine. This shift promises a significant visual upgrade, bringing a fresh look to the game's somewhat dated runner graphics.

Beyond the visual enhancements, the update introduces a streamlined user interface and a host of new features. One of the most exciting additions is the endless runner mode, which, surprisingly, has only now been incorporated into the game. You can dive into this mode directly from the main menu.

This update, long-awaited for its overhaul to make Minion Rush compatible with modern devices and player preferences, is finally here, and it's likely to be met with widespread approval. Along with the new features, players can now personalize their profiles with custom nicknames, avatars, and frames, adding a personal touch to their gaming experience.

Another exciting addition is the Hall of Jam, which offers enhanced progression rewards, including G-Coins, Minion stickers for costume upgrades or unlocks, story puzzle pieces, gadgets, and other enticing goodies. Players can also explore new power-ups such as the Disco-boot, Bouncer, Rocket Blade, and Minion Armor.
