History

In January 2023, Universal announced a new "horror experience" called Universal Horror Unleashed, which is set to be the anchor tenant in a 20-acre expansion of Area15.[2][3] Unlike Universal's seasonal Halloween Horror Nights events, it will be a permanent and year-round fixture, occupying a 110,000-square-foot (2.5-acre) space.[4][5] On March 8, 2023, Universal's theme park division Universal Parks and Resorts changed their name to Universal Destinations & Experiences.[6] Construction began in October 2023,[7] with the walls erected by December 18, 2023.[8][9] The attraction is expected to open in 2025.[10] By December 2023, Universal Horror Unleashed was confirmed to be duplicated for the upcoming Universal Studios Great Britain.[11]
