Umamusume: Pretty Derby’s Massive November 2025 Update Brings New Legend Races, Virgo Cup, Support Cards, and More

Cygames has unveiled Umamusume: Pretty Derby’s stacked November 2025 slate, kicking off with the Unity Cup and sprinting to a Halloween Makeover Story Event finale, as revealed on the game’s official X account.

November is busy in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, so if you like your horse girls with a side of min-maxing and seasonal cosplay, this month is your buffet. Cygames laid out the whole plan on the game’s official X account, and yes, it’s a lot. Here’s what matters, what’s worth your pulls, and when to log in so you don’t leave free stuff on the table.

Half Anniversary Celebration Part 2 (live now)

Part 2 kicked off on November 3 and piles on more Half Anniversary missions and goodies. The highlights start November 6: a Free Daily 10x Scout promo (up to 100 free pulls total), a 3000-Carat giveaway, a free SSR Support Card (Winning Dream Silence Suzuka), a new song called "Never Looking Back", plus the usual daily bonuses. If you’ve been slacking, now’s the time to hop back in.

Unity Cup: Shine On, Team Spirit! (Nov 6)

The Unity Cup is a new permanent training scenario hitting on November 6. If you know the Japanese version, this is Aoharu Hai. It’s only the second permanent career path after URA Finals, built around Team Races with mechanics that feel close to Team Trials.

Inside your training run, the Unity Cup pops up twice a year. You’ll field a squad through five race types — Sprint, Mile, Medium, Long, and Dirt — and your post-cup stats scale with how well you do. Your roster pulls from your Trainee, Support Cards, story characters, and whoever you recruit along the way. If you like tinkering with team synergy, this one’s your playground.

Nov 6 banners: Full Armor Matikanefukukitaru + Riko and Rice SSRs

Also on November 6, Full Armor Matikanefukukitaru joins the lineup, alongside two headliner Support Cards: Riko Kashimoto (Pal SSR) and Rice Shower (Power SSR). Matikanefukukitaru’s Unique, "Bountiful Harvest", kicks in with a speed bump when someone is breathing down her neck in the back half of a race. Her Level 2 Awakening, "Inside Scoop", gives a small late boost if she hugs the inner rail in the final corner — extra handy on longer courses. Cute kit, good utility.

But the real heat is the support pool. With the free 10x daily scouts running Nov 6–16, you get 10 tries per day to hit Riko or Rice. Don’t hoard them — they don’t carry over. These banners stay up through November 17.

Half Anniversary Celebration Part 3 (Nov 6)

Part 3 starts the same day with more missions, events, and bonuses. Expect the SSR Selector during this phase, letting you pick an SSR Support Card directly. If you log in for nothing else this month, log in for that.

Nov 11 banners: Hishi Akebono + Sakura Bakushin O and Biko Pegasus (SSR Speed)

Hishi Akebono arrives November 11 with two Speed SSR Support Cards: Sakura Bakushin O and Biko Pegasus. Akebono’s Unique, "I'M☆FULL☆SPEED!!", ramps up speed if she’s in a good spot to pass mid-race (it dials down to a small bump on Short tracks). She’s fine, even solid on Short and Mile, but there are stronger picks overall. If you’re budgeting gems, the earlier Riko and Rice supports still look like smarter targets. This batch runs through November 21.

Legend Races (Nov 13–22)

Starting November 13, a new wave of limited-time Legend Races lands, themed around the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes. You’ll face Legend versions of Maruzensky, Fuji Kiseki, and Mihono Bourbon. Beat them to scoop up their Star Shards, which you can spend to scout them or rank them up by unlocking Stars.

Champions Meeting: Virgo Cup (Nov 16–26)

Virgo Cup opens November 16 on the Hanshin Turf: 1600m Mile, Right/Outer, Fall, Sunny, Firm. The Leo Cup is still running, so prep time is tight. The meta note here: skip Pace Chasers — the acceleration options aren’t ideal for this one — and lean into Front Runners. Train accordingly and you’ll be fine.

Nov 19 banners: Agnes Digital + Ikino Dictus (SSR Guts) and Fine Motion (SR Power)

Agnes Digital lands November 19 with support from Ikino Dictus (SSR Guts) and Fine Motion (SR Power). Digital’s flexible: great on Turf and Dirt, and strong in Mile and Medium distances. Her Unique, "Kyuute☆Last SpuU(ﾟ∀ﾟ)Uurt!", triggers a late speed boost only if she passes at least two rivals near the end. Her innate skill "Uma Stan" nudges velocity when she’s close to others. She’s a fun late-surging threat if you can set up her conditions. These banners run through November 28.

Halloween lookbook and story event (Nov 24–Dec 6)

On November 24, Super Creek and Rice Shower roll in with Halloween outfits — Super Creek goes full mummy with the Chiffon Ribbon Mummy, and Rice Shower does a charming vamp with Make up Vampire!. They look fantastic, and the kits aren’t just for show. Super Creek’s stat boosts are strong, and her Level 5 Awakening "Mystifying Murmur" disrupts runners ahead mid-race (Medium). Rice Shower’s Unique "Drain for Rose" gives a speed bump and stamina recovery — and saps stamina from runners in front — if she’s sitting in the front half of the pack (but not leading) during the middle leg. Her numbers aren’t as flashy as the fit, but the fit is doing heavy lifting anyway.

Two more supports hit the same day: Tamamo Cross (Power SSR) and Zenno Rob Roy (Speed SSR). All of these banners stay live until December 6.

Also starting November 24: the Halloween Makeover Story Event, which runs alongside the outfit banners through December 6. Expect Rice Shower, Super Creek, Tamamo Cross, Zenno Rob Roy, and Mihono Bourbon to take the spotlight, with bonuses keyed to them.
