Cygames is celebrating the arrival of Umamusume: Pretty Derby’s newest scenario, Unity Cup: Shine On, Team Spirit!, with a global giveaway event filled with exciting rewards. This celebration marks a major milestone for the English version of the game, coinciding with the launch of one of its most beloved training modes — the Aoharu Hai scenario.
What Is the Unity Cup?
The Unity Cup (Aoharu Hai) is the second permanent career scenario introduced in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Released globally on November 6, 2025 (UTC), it focuses on team training and cooperative growth, emphasizing “Spirit Burst” mechanics and team races that challenge your overall lineup instead of a single trainee.
Every six months of in-game time, players must participate in Team Races across five race types — Sprint, Mile, Medium, Long, and Dirt. Each race affects team stats and facility levels, making strategic team composition and stat balancing more important than ever.
The scenario’s structure encourages maximizing teamwork through the Spirit Burst system, where training alongside specific teammates grants powerful stat boosts and exclusive skills like Burning Spirit X and It’s On!.
Unity Cup Celebration Event Overview
To commemorate this major scenario launch, Umamusume: Pretty Derby’s global team announced a limited-time giveaway event titled “Unity Cup Celebration Event.”
