Thanks, Bilibili announced that it is publishing and distributing the Simplified Chinese version of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby in China. Pre-registration started on August 4, 2023 and within ten days, over a million players signed up. Cygames is working on expanding Uma Musume: Pretty Derby not only within Japan, but to other countries as well. However, there is no news as of yet in regards to an English release.
You can download the Simplified Chinese version of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby from the game’s official Bilibili page. Obviously, since the game just came out, it has the debut roster of horse girls and there is only one main story. It’s unknown if the Chinese version will, like the global server for Twisted Wonderland, try to catch up to the Japanese version or if it will remain several years behind the original server on a permanent basis.
Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is a multimedia franchise centering around uma musume, who are literally horse girls. They’re based off of real-life race horses both alive and dead. Uma musume are a combination of sports stars and idols in-universe, in which they legitimately work to compete in their races. However, the winner of the races and derbies get to be the center of a live performance that takes place after the races. Aside from a game, there is also a manga and an anime adaptation.
Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is readily available in China and Japan on mobile devices and Windows PC.
