Uma Musume Launches Worldwide With Exclusive Features

• Umamusume: Pretty Derby is now available for English-speaking audiences
• This acclaimed sports simulation game features a uniquely compelling premise
• Train your horse girls and lead them to victory in the prestigious Twinkle Series

It's safe to say few upcoming game releases have generated as much anticipation as Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Cygames' multi-media phenomenon has spawned a manga, an anime, and even a stage production. Now, the original mobile hit is finally getting a full global launch.

This sports life simulator is where the entire franchise began. In its world, certain young women possess the abilities—and distinctive ears—of racehorses. Your task is to recruit a champion horse girl, train her, and guide her to win the coveted Twinkle Series.

The concept certainly captures your imagination. Yet, Umamusume doesn't rely solely on its novelty. Beyond the unique premise, it delivers flashy 3D visuals, interactive elements, and a genuinely captivating story that makes you forget you're essentially watching a foot race.

And they're off!

How popular is Umamusume: Pretty Derby? On Steam—a platform not particularly known for embracing mobile ports—the game has an "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating. That alone speaks volumes about its widespread appeal.

Even better, the English version includes all the original features plus some exclusive ones. Watch races in landscape mode, browse the catchy (hoof-tapping?) soundtrack in the Jukebox, and enjoy cross-platform sync between Steam and Google Play.

The game's pacing has also been adjusted for the global release. Events and Scouts now occur more frequently, keeping the content flowing. So if you've ever been curious why fans genuinely say, "I love the horse girl series," maybe now is the perfect time to try Pretty Derby for yourself.
