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 already garnered excellent reviews.
The Details
Cygames has launched official English-language resources, including a website, YouTube channel, and X (formerly Twitter) account, to keep global fans updated on the upcoming release.
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 features horse girls – racehorses reincarnated as girls in an alternate universe – striving for idol stardom while competing in the "Twinkle Series," a national sports entertainment spectacle.
While the global release is pending, characters like Gold Ship from Team Spica have already appeared in globally released games like Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising. Expect more crossovers once the English version launches.
Release Date and Availability
While a specific release date remains unannounced, the game 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.
