If there's any Gameloft release that has exceeded expectations in terms of longevity, it's Minion Rush. Before Despicable Me graced the big screens, few anticipated that a French animated film from a relatively lesser-known studio would capture hearts globally. Yet, it did just that, and now Gameloft is poised to roll out what they're calling the 'biggest update ever' for Minion Rush.
This monumental update signals Gameloft's commitment to keeping Minion Rush vibrant for years to come. A significant shift to the Unity engine underpins this update, promising a substantial visual upgrade to the game's graphics, modernizing its somewhat dated appearance. But it's not just about looks; the update introduces a streamlined user interface and a host of exciting new features.
One of the most anticipated additions is the endless runner mode, which, surprisingly, has taken this long to be implemented. Now accessible directly from the main menu, this mode is bound to add a fresh layer of excitement to the gameplay. Alongside this, the update brings new boosters and extensive player customization options, allowing you to personalize your experience with unique nicknames, avatars, and frames.
This update has been eagerly awaited to revamp Minion Rush for today's devices and players, and now that it's here, it's likely to be well-received. The new Hall of Jam feature enhances progression with rewards like G-Coins, Minion stickers for costume upgrades or unlocks, story puzzle pieces, gadgets, and other enticing goodies. Additionally, players can explore new power-ups such as the Disco-boot, Bouncer, Rocket Blade, and Minion Armor.
