Great news for fans of the Uma Musume Pretty Derby anime! Cygames has officially confirmed an English version of its popular horse girl racing simulation game. The Japanese version has received rave reviews, and now a global audience can experience the excitement.
What's Happening?
Cygames has launched an official English website, YouTube channel, and X (formerly Twitter) account to keep fans updated on the global release. This ensures regular updates for international players.
For newcomers, Uma Musume Pretty Derby is part of a larger multimedia franchise, including anime and manga, which has amassed a huge fanbase thanks to the success of its anime series.
Initially released in Japan and Asia in February 2021 for Android and iOS, the game features horse girls—racehorses reincarnated as girls—competing in the "Twinkle Series," a national sports entertainment show, to become top idols.
While the global release is imminent, characters like Gold Ship from Team Spica have already appeared in globally released titles like Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, hinting at future crossovers once the English version launches.
When Can We Play?
The exact release date remains unannounced, but it will be free-to-play and available on Android and iOS. Check the official website for the latest updates. In the meantime, enjoy the official trailer:
A playable demo of the English version will be available at Anime Expo 2024 (Los Angeles Convention Center, July 4th-7th). Don't miss it!
