For the Uninitiated:
Uma Musume Pretty Derby is part of a larger multimedia franchise encompassing anime, manga, and more. The game's immense popularity stems largely from the success of the anime series.

The game's global presence has already been hinted at through character appearances in titles like Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising. Expect more crossovers once the English version launches.
