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

This monumental update signals Gameloft's commitment to keeping Minion Rush fresh and engaging for the long haul. A key component of this update is the transition of Minion Rush to the Unity engine, which promises a significant visual upgrade, breathing new life into the game's graphics that were starting to show their age.

But the changes don't stop at visuals. Players will also enjoy a more streamlined user interface along with other exciting new features. One of the most anticipated additions is the endless runner mode, which, astonishingly, is only now being introduced. You can dive straight into this mode from the main menu, offering endless fun and challenges.

Another exciting addition is the Hall of Jam, which offers enhanced progression rewards including G-Coins, Minion stickers for upgrading or unlocking costumes, story puzzle pieces, gadgets, and other collectibles.
