"Minion Rush Gets Major Update with Unity Engine Switch"

by Sebastian May 21,2025

If there's any Gameloft release that has exceeded all expectations in terms of longevity, it's undoubtedly Minion Rush. Before Despicable Me graced the big screens, few could have predicted that a French animated film from a relatively lesser-known studio would capture hearts worldwide. Yet, it did, and now Gameloft is poised to launch what they're calling Minion Rush's 'biggest update ever'.

This monumental update underscores Gameloft's commitment to keeping Minion Rush vibrant and engaging for years to come. A key part of this update is the transition to the Unity engine, which promises a significant visual upgrade to the game's graphics, breathing new life into the beloved runner.

But the enhancements don't stop there. Players can now enjoy a more streamlined user interface along with a host of new features. One of the most exciting additions is the introduction of an endless runner mode, which, surprisingly, has taken this long to be implemented. You can dive straight into this mode from the main menu.

Alongside the new features, you can now personalize your player profile with custom nicknames, avatars, and frames.

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 various other goodies. Players can also explore new power-ups such as the Disco-boot, Bouncer, Rocket Blade, and Minion Armor.
