[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Kakao Games will distribute the new mobile game 'Uma Musume Pretty Derby' by Japan's Cygames in South Korea.

On the 30th, Kakao Games announced, "We have signed a domestic publishing contract with Cygames."

'Uma Musume Pretty Derby' is a game where players raise bishoujo characters named after real racehorses.

The game ranked first in sales on both major app markets immediately after its service launch in Japan last month.

This collaboration between Kakao Games and Cygames is their third, following 'Princess Connect! Re:Dive' and 'World Flipper.'

Kakao Games will introduce 'Uma Musume Pretty Derby' officially in South Korea after localization work.

Jo Gye-hyun, CEO of Kakao Games, said, "We are pleased with the strong trust built with Cygames, a renowned company in the subculture genre loved by users both domestically and internationally for its excellent development capabilities," adding, "We will make thorough preparations in localization to provide the best environment for domestic users to enjoy the game."
