Overview
- The Resident Evil Takeover launched at Universal Horror Unleashed on Thursday, July 9, 2026, and will run through August 30, 2026.
- Admission to the takeover is included with Universal Horror Unleashed general‑admission tickets, which local reports said start around $59 for Nevada residents.
- The activation reconfigures the venue into six story‑driven zones where guests receive faction assignments, solve puzzles and progress through a linear mission that can vary on repeat visits.
- Visitors will encounter and photograph franchise characters such as Jill Valentine, Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield and Ada Wong while existing UHU haunted houses continue to operate.
- The takeover monetizes themed food, cocktails and retail in an Umbrella Corporation Aftermath zone and reuses costumes and scenic elements supplied by Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Hollywood to scale the event; the run also ties into Resident Evil’s 30th anniversary and an upcoming film release.
