Uma Musume Hits Global Stage

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, the wildly popular horse-girl racing simulator, is finally coming to English-speaking regions! Cygames has made the exciting announcement, though a precise release date remains elusive. Anticipation is high for both iOS and Android releases, mirroring its native Japanese versions.

The game unfolds in a world strikingly similar to our own, except for one key detail: horse-girl racing reigns supreme. Through a mystical process, renowned racehorses are reborn as young women, rigorously trained for intense competitive running.

Gameplay centers around collecting these unique horse-girls and competing against rivals in stat-based races. The virtual races are a key element of the experience. Already a massive success in Japan, with over $2 billion in global revenue, Uma Musume has also spawned manga and anime adaptations.
