"Umamusume: Pretty Derby English Release Date Set"

The highly anticipated English version of Umamusume: Pretty Derby is finally set to gallop onto the global stage. Fans eager to dive into this unique horse girls racing simulation can mark their calendars for the official release date of June 26, 2025. The announcement came via a tweet from developer Cygames on April 27, with pre-registration opening the very next day on April 28.

Originally launched in Japan on February 24, 2021, for iOS, Android, and PC, Umamusume: Pretty Derby has captivated audiences with its blend of sports and life simulation. The game features legendary racehorses reborn as "horse girls" or "Umamusume," who train at Tokyo's Tracen Academy to become top racers and idols. These characters combine the appearance of high school girls with the ears, tails, endurance, and speed of horses, creating a truly unique gaming experience.

According to the game's Steam page, Umamusume: Pretty Derby offers an immersive experience with an in-depth training system and stunning 3D graphics. Players can scout and train over 20 different Uma Musumes, participate in races, and showcase their skills in performances. The game also includes a gacha system for recruiting new characters and supporters.

The success of Umamusume: Pretty Derby in Japan is undeniable, with PocketGamer.biz reporting in March 2025 that the mobile version alone had generated over $2.5 billion in revenue within just four years. Cygames aims to replicate this success globally with the English release.
