Cygames has officially unveiled a new training Uma Musume, titled ★3 [Crimson Lacquer Early Horse Equipment] Northern Reason, for their popular smartphone and PC game, Uma Musume Pretty Derby. The introduction of this character is part of a special in-game event that runs from March 21, 2025, at 12:00 PM to March 31, 2025, at 11:59 AM. During this period, players will have the opportunity to encounter Northern Reason in the Pick Up Pretty Derby Gacha, making it an exciting time for fans of the game.
Northern Reason is designed with an ambitious spirit, aiming to stand out in the competitive racing world akin to a storied samurai from Japan’s Sengoku period. Her appearance is striking; she is dressed in attire reminiscent of a warrior’s armor, which reflects her determination to become the best in her field.
The character is inspired by a real racehorse that made waves in the racing circuit from 2002 to 2004. Notably, she clinched the prestigious G1 race victory at the Chrysanthemum Award, overcoming the odds as a 15th favorite, and showcased an incredible underdog win. After her racing career, she further captured the public's imagination by participating in the traditional Fukushima Prefecture event known as the Soma Wild Horse Chase—an event that highlights the rich cultural heritage of samurai horsemanship.
In conjunction with the unveiling of Northern Reason, Cygames will also host a Special 4th Anniversary Select Pick Up Support Card Gacha throughout the same period. This gacha will feature improved odds for two selected SSR support cards, enhancing players' chances of acquiring top-tier items.
Players will have a unique chance to engage with the gameplay by using 1500 paid jewels to draw a guaranteed SSR support card through a one-time special offer. This initiative demonstrates Cygames' commitment to enrich player experiences as they enjoy the intricacies of Uma Musume Pretty Derby.
As fans eagerly anticipate the launch of Northern Reason, they are reminded of the game’s unique blend of training simulation and competition that has kept it at the forefront of mobile and PC gaming.
With such vibrant character designs and engaging gameplay dynamics, Cygames continues to build on the success of the Uma Musume franchise, captivating both veteran and new players alike.
