Minion Rush Gets Major Unity Engine Upgrade

- Minion Rush gears up for its most substantial update to date

- The overhaul transitions to Unity engine, bringing fresh features

- Official endless runner mode arrives complete with new power-ups and customization options

Few mobile games have surpassed expectations like Minion Rush has. Before Despicable Me became a global phenomenon, few predicted this French animated film from an upstart studio would captivate audiences worldwide. Now, Gameloft prepares to launch what they're calling the most significant update in Minion Rush history.

This major refresh signals Gameloft's long-term commitment to their yellow-hued runner. The shift to Unity engine delivers a complete visual transformation, replacing the game's dated graphics with crisp modern visuals.

Beyond the aesthetic upgrade, players will discover cleaner UI navigation and exciting new mechanics. The headline addition? An endless runner mode finally joins the roster after years of anticipation, accessible directly from the main screen.

While some might argue this modernization took too long, the wait appears justified by the results. Personalization options flourish with customizable profiles featuring nicknames, avatars and decorative frames.

The new Hall of Jam serves up progression rewards including G-Coins, collectible stickers for costume upgrades, story elements and special gadgets. Four fresh power-ups - Disco-boot, Bouncer, Rocket Blade and Minion Armor - add strategic depth to every run.
