Uma Musume Pretty Derby: A Quick Overview
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. The game, initially released in Japan and Asia (February 2021, Android and iOS), features horse girls—racehorses reincarnated as girls—competing in the "Twinkle Series," a national sports entertainment show, to become top idols.
While the global release date remains unannounced, appearances of characters like Gold Ship (Team Spica) in games such as Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising hint at future global crossovers.
When's the English Version Coming?
The English version of Uma Musume Pretty Derby 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 (Los Angeles Convention Center, July 4th-7th). Don't miss it!
