Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, the bizarre, hugely popular game, is coming to English-speaking territories

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, the wildly popular horse-girl racing simulator, is finally getting an English release! Cygames has made the exciting announcement, though a firm release date remains elusive. Expect it to launch on both iOS and Android, mirroring its availability in Japan.

The game's premise is unique: famous racehorses are reincarnated as young women who compete in high-stakes races. Gameplay involves collecting these "horse girls," managing their stats, and watching virtual races unfold. This blend of horse racing and anime-inspired characters has resonated globally, generating over $2 billion in worldwide revenue.
