Developer and publisher Cygames has officially announced the cancellation of the upcoming Uma Musume Pretty Derby live concerts in the United States. The decision comes after the company encountered insurmountable administrative delays while securing necessary performance visas for the cast and production crew.
Visa Delays Halts Overseas Performances
The scheduled live concerts were set to mark a significant international milestone for the Uma Musume Pretty Derby multimedia franchise, bringing popular voice actresses to perform character songs live for North American audiences. However, despite exhaustive efforts by Cygames and local organizers to navigate the immigration pipeline, visa approvals could not be secured in time to ensure the crew and talent's arrival.
Cygames issued a statement expressing sincere apologies to fans who had purchased tickets and made travel arrangements. The company confirmed that all ticket holders will receive full refunds through official ticketing channels. Further updates regarding potential future overseas events for the franchise have not yet been announced.
