"Minion Rush Switches to Unity Engine in Major Update"

by Penelope Jun 01,2025

If there’s one Gameloft game that has consistently exceeded expectations, it’s Minion Rush. Who would have thought that a French animated film from a relatively unknown studio would captivate audiences worldwide? Yet, here we are, and Minion Rush continues to evolve. Gameloft is set to launch what they describe as the game’s biggest update yet, signaling their commitment to keeping this title relevant for years to come.

This major update shifts Minion Rush onto Unity, a cutting-edge engine, giving the game a much-needed visual refresh. The new engine doesn’t just enhance graphics; it introduces a sleeker user interface and several innovative features. Among these highlights is the eagerly anticipated endless runner mode, now accessible directly from the main menu.

It’s hard to believe it took this long to introduce such a core feature, but the wait seems worth it. Alongside the endless runner mode, players can now personalize their profiles with custom nicknames, avatars, and frames—a perfect way to stand out in the crowd.

Another exciting addition is the Hall of Jam, which rewards players with enhanced progression incentives, including G-Coins, Minion stickers, story puzzle pieces, gadgets, and more. Power-ups like the Disco-boot, Bouncer, Rocket Blade, and Minion Armor are also ready to spice up your runs.
