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 is on its way. The Japanese version has already garnered significant praise.

What's New?

Cygames has launched official English-language support across its website, YouTube channel, and X (formerly Twitter) account to keep global fans updated on the game's progress.

For newcomers, Uma Musume Pretty Derby is part of a larger multimedia franchise encompassing anime, manga, and more, having gained immense popularity through its successful anime series.
