Zwift May 2021 update released (it’s big!)

The update is currently out on Mac, PC, and Android. iOS is currently out.

Zwift has just dropped a new update releasing the Yumezi world that will likely be used for the Zwift esports Olympics that all riders will be allowed to join. Eric Min, the CEO of Zwift also just rode this route earlier this morning. This world will likely be something like Watopia where it starts off small but slowly begins to grow. This world is clearly very well designed by the designers at Zwift. They have also released a lot of bug fixes and improvements to a lot of different things. The full list is listed below. Having any issues with the update? Leave a comment below or on the Zwift forums page and I will try my best to help. Zwift has recently been releasing a lot of teasers for the new world and it has finally arrived. An update to the companion app will be released soon so that riders can access the world through meetups and they will be added to the world rotation schedule. Earlier Zwift also released a companion update that contained the new map, Zwift also released numerous teasers about the update.

My thoughts on the update
    I think that this update was at the perfect time. After going almost a year without a new world has been hard with only minor expansions in December. I think that the community needed this and I definitely needed this as I was starting to get really bored of Zwift. Hopefully we will see more expansions to this new world as I feel that this world has a lot of potential. There is also a very technial looking area in the center of the world which looks like a fun twisty crit course! I will definitely be riding this new world later today! Expect more images to be added shortly. There will also be a separate post about the new world being released tomorrow once I have ridden the new world. Here are some images of the bikes added and the route badges that were added. More images and information will be added soon.
Overall I think that this was an amazing update. For more information there is another post linked above and here is a video of me riding one of the routes in Yumezi!

The world itself is called Makuri islands, this part of the world is called Yumezi. Zwift has confirmed that they will be adding more onto this world and there is a separate post about the world coming out soon.

I think it is called makuri islands, not yumezi. I just had a look at it using the world hack. Here’s how to do the world hack: https://zwiftinsider.com/world-tag/
