Giddy Up! Cygames Announces Uma Musume Pretty Derby English Version

Exciting news for fans of the Uma Musume Pretty Derby anime and game! Cygames has officially confirmed an English version of its popular horse girl racing simulation game. A Japanese version already boasts excellent reviews, and now a global audience can join the fun.

The Global Launch:

Cygames has launched official English-language resources, including a website, YouTube channel, and X (formerly Twitter) account, to keep fans updated on the upcoming release.

What is Uma Musume Pretty Derby?

For newcomers, Uma Musume Pretty Derby is part of a larger multimedia franchise encompassing anime, manga, and more. Its popularity stems largely from the successful anime series. The game, initially released in Japan and Asia in February 2021 for Android and iOS, features horse girls—racehorses reincarnated as girls in an alternate universe—competing in the "Twinkle Series" to become top idols.

Characters from Uma Musume Pretty Derby, like Gold Ship from Team Spica, have already appeared in globally released games such as Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, hinting at future crossovers once the English version launches.

Release Date and Availability:

While a precise release date remains unannounced, the English version of Uma Musume Pretty Derby will be free-to-play and available on Android and iOS. Check the official website for updates.
