Umamusume Global Release Appearing Soon

During the PAKA LIVE TV livestream on April 27, 2025, we’ll finally learn more information about the global release, aka the English launch, of Umamusume: Pretty Derby. The stream will start from 11am UTC, which would convert to 4am PT/7am ET.

Here's the placeholder for that presentation.

As a note, the stream will only be available in Japanese. You can catch it on the official PakaTube channel, which is a channel specifically for Umamusume: Pretty Derby. The stream will likely also include information for the main Japanese server of the game.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby first came out in Japan in 2021, three years after its original release window of 2018. It’s part of the Umamusume multi-media franchise, which also includes manga, anime, and movies. In Umamusume: Pretty Derby, you are a trainer at Tracen Academy, which is a training school for umamusume, or horse girls. When you start the game, you can choose which girl you want to train. Throughout her scenario, you can raise her to become the star racer and center of her year. There’s also a story mode that focuses more on an ensemble cast.

Since the game came out, it’s been ridiculously popular, becoming the third highest-grossing mobile game within its first month. As of May 2024, it made over 2.4 billion JPY in revenue and, as of June 2024, it surpassed 21 million downloads. All those stats are with Japan as its only market, as well.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby is readily available on Windows PC and mobile devices in Japan. The global version of Umamusume: Pretty Derby is in development, and we’ll hear more news about it on April 27, 2025.
