Great 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 rave reviews, and now a global audience will have access.
What's the Deal?
Cygames has launched an official English website, YouTube channel, and X (formerly Twitter) account to keep fans updated on the global release.
For newcomers, Uma Musume Pretty Derby is part of a larger multimedia franchise, including anime and manga, which has garnered a huge following. The game, initially released in Japan and Asia in February 2021 (Android and iOS), features horse girls—racehorses reincarnated as girls—competing in the "Twinkle Series" to become top idols.
While the global release date remains unannounced, characters like Gold Ship (Team Spica) have already appeared in global titles like Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, hinting at future crossovers once the English version launches.
When's the English Version Coming?
The Uma Musume Pretty Derby English version will be free-to-play and available on Android and iOS. Check the official website for updates. In the meantime, 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). Don't miss it!
