Great news for fans of the "Horse Girl" anime! Cygames has confirmed an English version of its popular racing simulation game, Uma Musume Pretty Derby. The Japanese version has already garnered excellent reviews.
What's Happening?
Cygames has launched official English-language resources, including a website, YouTube channel, and an X (formerly Twitter) account, to keep the global audience 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.
Initially released in Japan and Asia in February 2021 for Android and iOS, 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, characters like Gold Ship (Team Spica) have already appeared in globally released titles such as Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, hinting at future crossovers once the English version launches.
When Can I Play the English Version?
The exact release date is still under wraps, but we know it will be free-to-play and available on Android and iOS. Check the official website for updates. In the meantime, enjoy 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 it!
