Cygames has exciting news for fans of the popular mobile and PC game, Uma Musume Pretty Derby. Starting on February 14 at 12:00 PM, the company will launch the much-anticipated "Pickup Pretty Derby Gacha" alongside the 4th Anniv. Select Pickup Support Card Gacha. These new features aim to celebrate the game’s fourth anniversary with fresh content for players to enjoy.
One of the highlights of this update is the introduction of the new training character, Tsuru Maru Tsuyoshi. Known for his energetic and determined personality, Tsuru Maru Tsuyoshi embodies the spirit of perseverance as he strives to reach his dream of becoming the Triple Crown Mare. Players will be intrigued to discover the nuances of this character, who, much like his namesake racehorse, faced health challenges but went on to achieve significant victories on the racetrack.
The Pickup Pretty Derby Gacha will feature Tsuru Maru Tsuyoshi prominently, allowing players to add him to their list of developed characters between February 14 and February 24, 2023. This new addition offers not only fresh gameplay dynamics but also enables players to strategize their racing efforts effectively.
"Tsuru Maru Tsuyoshi is characterized as energetic and forward-thinking, striving to achieve glory with persistence," Cygames shared. This characterization not only adds depth to the gameplay but also resonates with fans who appreciate narrative-driven experiences.
Alongside this new character, the 4th Anniv. Select Pickup Support Card Gacha will be activated during the same timeframe, giving players the chance to obtain select SSR support cards. For this specific gacha, players can choose two support cards from the available options to increase their chances of getting them. Cygames noted, "Players can select from the available SSR support cards to increase their chances of obtaining specific cards during the gacha," encouraging users to make strategic choices.
The support cards included will feature numerous beloved characters from the game, mirroring the ever-growing universe of Uma Musume Pretty Derby. Notable support cards include Devilish Whispers Still Love and Nishino Flower among others, which will have higher drop rates based on player selections. This aspect allows for both excitement and strategic planning, as limited-time gacha events naturally increase the competitive edge within the community.
Players will also be able to use paid gems to maximize their gacha attempts. For those opting for the 10x Pull (Paid), the tenth attempt guarantees one SSR support card, enhancing the thrill of participation. Cygames has stated, "With the introduction of Tsuru Maru Tsuyoshi, players will have new strategies to explore within the game," highlighting the potential for gameplay evolution with the new updates.
