Giddy Up! Cygames Announces Uma Musume Pretty Derby English Version

Exciting news for fans of the Uma Musume Pretty Derby anime and racing simulation game! Cygames has officially confirmed an English language version, expanding the game's reach beyond its already successful Japanese and Asian releases.

What's New?

Cygames has launched dedicated English-language platforms for the global release, including a website, YouTube channel, and X (formerly Twitter) account. This ensures fans worldwide receive regular updates 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.

Originally launched in February 2021 for Android and iOS in Japan and Asia, the game centers around "horse girls"—racehorses reincarnated as girls in an alternate universe—who strive for idol stardom while competing in the "Twinkle Series," a national sports entertainment event.

While a global release date remains unannounced, the game's appearance of characters like Gold Ship (Team Spica) in titles like Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising hints at future global crossovers. The English version will be free-to-play and available on Android and iOS.

When Can You Play?

Although the official release date is still undisclosed, you can stay updated via the official website. In the meantime, check out 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. Don't miss this chance to experience the game firsthand!
