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

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, the globally popular horse-girl racing simulator, is finally coming to English-speaking regions! Cygames has made the exciting announcement, though a concrete release date remains elusive. Expect the iOS and Android release to mirror the game's successful launch in its native Japanese market.

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 virtually racing against opponents. Beyond its gaming success, Uma Musume boasts a thriving manga and anime franchise, contributing to its over $2 billion in global revenue.
