Exciting 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 already garnered significant praise.
What's New?
Cygames has launched official English-language resources, including a website, YouTube channel, and X (formerly Twitter) account, to keep global fans updated on the game's progress.
For newcomers, Uma Musume Pretty Derby is part of a larger multimedia franchise encompassing anime, manga, and more. Its popularity stems largely from the success of the 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 game hasn't had a global release until now, characters like Gold Ship from Team Spica have appeared in globally released titles such as Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, hinting at future crossovers once the English version launches.
When's the Release?
The precise release date remains unannounced, but the game will be free-to-play and available on Android and iOS. Check the official website for updates. In the meantime, enjoy the official trailer below!
A playable demo of the English version will be available at Anime Expo 2024 (July 4th-7th) at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
