Cygames shared details about the Umamusume: Pretty Derby new Trainee character Gold City and Main Story Chapter 4 update. Both arrive in-game on October 7, 2025, with the update happening in North America at about 3pm PT/6pm ET. They’re the latest additions to the October 2025 schedule for the game.
Each of the Main Story sections in Umamusume: Pretty Derby deal with specific characters, and the Chapter 4 one’s focus is on Narita Brian. This means her older sister Biwa Hayahide will also be prominently featured, and it will go over the two of their individual dreams and goals. If someone already pulled one or both of them on the Trainee banner, we sort of already got teasers for their relationship and backstory. This also means a new song and concert called “Blaze,” with Narita Brian as the main singer.
Here’s how “Blaze” looks and sounds:
In the case of Gold City, she’s another Mile runner who focuses on Turf. However, her initial stats put Medium and Long races at B, which are easy to boost to A. She also has a D in Dirt, which means that could be boosted to make her a viable Dirt racer too. Her Keep It Real Unique Skill prioritizes her role as a Pace Chaser or Late Surger, since it increases her acceleration at the halfway point when she moves from the middle to the front.
While her English Tracen Academy spotlight trailer isn’t live yet, you can see the Japanese one below.
There is still another Umamusume: Pretty Derby Trainee banner live in the game. Fuji Kiseki debuted on October 2, 2025. Her focus banner ends on October 10, 2025. Due to the nature of the game, she’s now in the general pool and it will be possible to get her on the Gold City banner too.
As for the new Support Cards banner, that’s less exciting. It’s a rerun banner. So if someone didn’t already get SSR Nishino Flower Speed or SSR Vodka Power cards, those will be the focus items.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby is available for PCs and mobile devices, and the Gold City Trainee banner and Main Story Chapter 4 update arrive on October 7, 2025.
