"Minion Rush Gets New Content for Fourth Movie Release"

Gameloft's beloved endless runner, *Despicable Me: Minion Rush*, has just rolled out a thrilling update inspired by the eagerly awaited fourth installment of Illumination's blockbuster franchise, *Despicable Me 4*. Set to hit theaters in the United States on July 3rd, the new content is already live and ready for fans to dive into.

This update introduces players to Poppy, an aspiring villain on a mission to execute her first heist—the daring theft of the Honey Badger from Lycee Pas Bon. As always, the Minions are right by her side to help pull off this mischievous caper. Alongside Poppy's heist, players can participate in the new World Games Special Mission and deck out their Minion in the stylish new Renfield costume.

The *Despicable Me 4* themed content for *Minion Rush* is now available, so don't miss out! Check out the trailer below to get a sneak peek at all the exciting new additions.

It's fascinating to reflect on how the original *Despicable Me* movie, which was Studio Illumination's debut feature film in collaboration with Paris-based animation studio Mac Guff, launched a franchise that has captivated audiences worldwide. *Minion Rush* itself has proven to be a monumental success, boasting over a billion downloads and maintaining its popularity for over a decade.

Despite some finding Steve Carell's Gru and his iconic yellow Minions a bit over the top, their charm and appeal show no signs of waning. With *Despicable Me 4* on the horizon, excitement for the series is set to soar even higher.
