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 version, bringing the popular Japanese title to a global audience.

What's New?

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

For the Uninitiated:

Uma Musume Pretty Derby is part of a larger multimedia franchise encompassing anime, manga, and more. The game's popularity stems largely from the success of its anime series. It features horse girls—racehorses reincarnated as girls—competing in the "Twinkle Series," a national sports entertainment show.

Initially released in Japan and Asia in February 2021 for Android and iOS, the game has already made waves. Characters like Gold Ship from Team Spica have even appeared in globally released games like Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, hinting at future crossovers once the English version launches.

When's the Release?

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

Early Access at Anime Expo 2024:

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 get a sneak peek!
