- Exciting news for fans of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby as the game gets an English trailer and website, confirming a Western version is on the way.
- The game is set to release on iOS and Android, although an official date has not been announced yet.
Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is gearing up for its English debut with developer Cygames launching an official website, Twitter account, and YouTube trailer to tease the game’s arrival in the West.
This horsegirl racer has been a massive hit in Japan and Asia for the past three years, and now Cygames is finally taking a chance on the Western market, with a release date still under wraps. However, the game is confirmed to be coming to iOS and Android in English after a demo preview at the upcoming Anime Expo in LA.
Get Ready to Race!
Uma Musume: Pretty Derby puts players in the role of a newcomer at Tracen Academy, where they train racehorses – each one named after a real racehorse but portrayed as a 3D anime girl with a passion for racing.
The Japanese version of the game recently introduced Jungle Pocket, named after a famous Japanese racehorse, which helped the game surpass 21 million downloads in Asia. Uma Musume has been a massive success in Japan, generating over $2 billion in revenue from Japanese players and dominating the charts.
Expanding to the West
With a Western release on the horizon, Uma Musume: Pretty Derby could see a resurgence on a global scale, with a launch planned for the US and potentially Europe as well. Despite a failed attempt in China, Cygames seems determined to bring the game to a wider audience with a self-published English version featuring a variety of characters to train and race.
