Cygames has released curtains that look like the starting gates when you pull in the Umamusume: Pretty Derby gacha. You will have until 3:00 PM JST of December 18, 2024 to put in your orders. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
There are three different versions of the Umamusume: Pretty Derby starting gates curtains: silver, gold, and rainbow. The color of the starting gates in-game correspond to the rarity of the horse girl you got. Like the real-life gacha, you actually cannot choose which curtain you get. Instead, it costs 6800 JPY ($44) for a random curtain. To increase your chances of getting one of the rarer versions, you can also buy a 10-pull for 68,000 JPY ($439.80).
Umamusume: Pretty Derby is one of the more profitable and popular franchises from Cygames, with the company announcing in May 2024 that the game made them over 2.4 billion JPY in revenue. This number accounts for over 70% of the money Cygames made on mobage between February 2021 and March 2024, and that’s not even taking into consideration profits from the anime, movies, and merchandise. The game focuses on collecting horse girls based on real-life race horses, raising them, and then racing them. It also features a main story mode, as well as individual character stories you can play through after pulling a girl.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby is readily available on mobile devices. The English version of the game is in development.
