Global Umamusume: Pretty Derby PVP System Overhaul Begins May 31, 2026
Cygames has announced upcoming changes to the Champions Meeting PVP events in the global version of Umamusume: Pretty Derby. The updates will take effect during the Champions Meeting: Gemini Cup, which begins on May 31, 2026.
The first event to implement these changes will include:
- New Career Rank adjustments for characters
- Increased rewards for victories
- Updated title acquisition rules
Gacha Banners Update April 30, 2026
Before the Champions Meeting changes roll out, new gacha banners will debut on April 30, 2026. These include:
- Ines Fujin as a three-star Umamusume Trainee
- Mr. CB SSR Support Card debut
- Tokai Teio SR Support Card debut
Key Changes to Champions Meeting PVP System
The Champions Meeting: Taurus Cup will introduce three major updates next month:
1. Expanded Open League Eligibility
Characters with a Career Rank of A+ or lower will now be eligible for the Open League. Previously, only characters ranked B or below were permitted.
2. Increased Rewards
Players will earn more Monies and Support Points per victory, enhancing progression and customization options.
3. Title Update System
When an event reruns, if a player earns the same title again, it will update to reflect the repeat. For example, Taurus Cup Platinum would become Taurus Cup Platinum ★ upon a second acquisition.
