Zwift: A New Makuri Islands Map

Zwift, the global online fitness platform, has just opened the roads of Neokyo, the first extension of Makuri Islands. Released in May 2021, Makuri Islands is the latest world created on Zwift. When it went live, cyclists had access to Yumezi, its only map. Neokyo therefore doubles the surface area of the Makuri Islands world. Zwifters will be able to ride and race between these two radically different maps, which will be connected by a road winding through the rice fields.

Inspired by major Japanese metropolises, Neokyo electrifies the nocturnal landscapes. Vibrant colors, dazzling neon lights, and shimmering fast roads guarantee that night rides will be bright.

A perfect contrast to the tranquility of Yumezi, Neokyo introduces the fast pace of urban life to the Makuri Islands. Flat and fast roads, imposing buildings, neon billboards, nocturnal party-goers, and arcade halls make Neokyo the ideal place to test your legs and ride fast.
