Since its global release, Umamusume: Pretty Derby has captured the attention of longtime gacha fans and newbies alike. Despite a few connection errors and snags along the way, gamers can’t get enough of the horse girl roguelike. In fact, the latest gacha gaming revenue report suggests the game has blown right past Pokemon TCG Pocket’s revenue for the month of July. But now, it’s time to look forward to a brand-new month of live-service gaming content. Today, Cygames has revealed its plans for Umamusume for August 2025.
Today marks the end of the current Brand New Friends event in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, as well as the Scout Spotlight for 3-star Mejiiro McQueen and Tokai Teio. Sad as it is to say goodbye to these in-game events, there’s plenty to look forward to in August. The schedule for the month ahead is almost as packed as my trainee’s pre-race regimen, and fans are pretty hyped. Here’s what to look forward to this month, including some new Trainees, Support Cards, and events.
