Uma Musume English Version Unveiled by Cygames

Good news for fans of the "Pony/Horse Girl" anime! Cygames has confirmed an English version of their popular racing simulation game, Uma Musume Pretty Derby. The Japanese version has received excellent reviews, and this global release is highly anticipated.

What's Happening?

Cygames has launched official English language resources including a website, YouTube channel, and X (formerly Twitter) account to keep 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.

Originally 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" to become top idols. While the global release is pending, characters like Gold Ship (Team Spica) have already appeared in other global games like Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, hinting at future crossovers.

When Can We Play?

The exact release date for the English version of Uma Musume Pretty Derby remains unannounced, but it 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.
