Cygames Unveils English Version of Mobile Game "Uma Musume"
Great news for fans of the Uma Musume Pretty Derby anime! Cygames has confirmed an English version of its popular horse girl racing simulation game. The Japanese version has already garnered excellent reviews, and now a global audience can experience the thrill.
What's New?
Cygames has launched official English-language resources: a website, YouTube channel, and an X (formerly Twitter) account dedicated to the global release of Uma Musume Pretty Derby. Stay tuned for regular updates!
What is Uma Musume Pretty Derby?
For newcomers, 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. Initially launched 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 to become top idols while competing in the "Twinkle Series," a national sports entertainment show.
While the global release date is still unannounced, the game's popularity is already evident. Characters like Gold Ship (Team Spica) have appeared in other globally released titles like Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, hinting at future crossovers once the English version launches.
When is the English Version Coming?
The exact release date remains undisclosed, but the game will be free-to-play and available on Android and iOS. Check the official website for updates.
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!
