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. A Japanese version already boasts impressive reviews, and now global audiences can join the fun.

What's New?

Cygames has launched an official English website, YouTube channel, and X (formerly Twitter) account dedicated to 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, manga, and more. Its popularity stems largely from the successful anime series.

Initially released in Japan and Asia in February 2021 for Android and iOS, the game features racehorses reincarnated as girls in a parallel universe. These "horse girls" strive for idol stardom while competing in the "Twinkle Series," a national sports entertainment event.

While the game hasn't had a global release until now, characters like Gold Ship from Team Spica have appeared in internationally available games such as Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising. Expect more crossovers once the English version launches.

When's the Release?

The exact release date remains unannounced, but the game will be free-to-play and available on Android and iOS. Check the official website for updates.

Here's the official trailer:

A playable demo of the English version will be available at Anime Expo 2024 (July 4th-7th) at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
