Cygames Unveils Global Launch of Uma Musume

Great news for fans of the Uma Musume Pretty Derby anime! Cygames has confirmed an English version of its popular horse girl racing simulation game. A Japanese version already boasts excellent reviews.

What's New?

Cygames has launched official English language resources: a website, YouTube channel, and an X (formerly Twitter) account, ensuring global fans receive regular updates.

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.

Initially launched in Japan and Asia (February 2021) for Android and iOS, the game features horse girls – racehorses reincarnated as girls – competing in the "Twinkle Series," a national sports entertainment event, to become top idols.

While the game hasn't had a global release, characters like Gold Ship (Team Spica) have appeared in global titles such as Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, hinting at future crossovers once the English version launches.

When's the English Version Arriving?

The exact release date remains unannounced, but the game will be free-to-play 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 (Los Angeles Convention Center, July 4th-7th).
