Giddy Up! Cygames Announces Uma Musume Pretty Derby English Version

Fantastic news for fans of the Pony/Horse Girl anime! Cygames has officially confirmed an English language release for their popular racing simulation game, Uma Musume Pretty Derby. The Japanese version has already garnered significant praise, and now a global audience will have the chance to experience it.

What's New?

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

Initially released in Japan and Asia in February 2021 for Android and iOS, the game features 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 the global release date remains unannounced, appearances of characters like Gold Ship (from Team Spica) in other globally released games, such as Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, hint at future crossovers once the English version launches.

When's the Release?

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, enjoy the official trailer below!
