Overview
- Universal announced the Resident Evil takeover will run July 9 through August 30, 2026, and access is included with Universal Horror Unleashed general-admission tickets.
- The takeover converts the AREA15 venue into six story-driven zones where guests solve puzzles, join factioned missions and encounter characters such as Jill Valentine, Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong.
- Guests should allow about three hours to see the full activation and can still visit the venue’s four regular haunted houses, which will operate during the takeover.
- The experience features themed food, cocktails and retail—menu items include the “Jill Sandwich” and souvenir beaker desserts—plus secret codes and gamified perks that can unlock hidden offers.
- Universal sourced costumes and scenic elements from Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Hollywood for the limited run, using cross-park collaboration to scale the take over and promote the franchise.
