As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of theme park adventures under my belt, I must admit that Universal Orlando Resort’s announcement about Epic Universe’s opening date on May 22, 2025, has sent a thrill down my spine! This park has been in the works for what feels like an eternity, and finally, we have a concrete date to look forward to.


The highly anticipated Epic Universe, the fourth theme park at Universal Orlando Resort, has officially set its grand opening for May 22, 2025. Initially slated for a late-2025 launch, this expansion of the Universal property was earlier expected to debut around that time.

The expansive Epic Universe, Universal’s most daring venture, promises to be their largest theme park ever. For quite some time, the precise opening date was shrouded in uncertainty, only hinted at as the vague end of 2025. However, construction progress has been significant, with numerous themed zones within the park nearing completion and various rides and props undergoing testing. This has left enthusiasts eagerly anticipating a formal announcement regarding the opening date.

Back in 2025, I’ll be among the first wave of visitors as Epic Universe opens its gates on May 22nd! This unexpected springtime debut is just what the doctor ordered for a fresh start. It’s no secret that Universal often unveils significant updates to their parks between May and July, so this timing feels intentional.
