Uma Musume Pretty Derby: A Quick Overview
For newcomers, Uma Musume Pretty Derby is part of a larger multimedia franchise, including anime and manga. Its popularity stems largely from the successful anime series. The game, originally released in Japan and Asia in February 2021 for Android and iOS, features horse girls—racehorses reincarnated as girls—competing in the "Twinkle Series," a national sports entertainment show, while striving for idol stardom. Characters from the game have already appeared in global titles like Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, hinting at future crossovers once the English version launches.
