Universal Horror Unleashed is bringing the world of Resident Evil to Las Vegas this summer with a limited-time interactive experience inspired by Capcom’s long-running survival horror franchise. Running from July 9 through August 30, 2026, the seasonal event invites guests to step into Raccoon City, encounter familiar characters, solve puzzles, and face the undead throughout the immersive venue.

The Resident Evil takeover transforms Universal Horror Unleashed into an outbreak zone spread across six themed areas. Guests begin their journey in Zone 1: Arrival, where a weathered “Welcome to Raccoon City” sign sets the stage as emergency responders struggle to contain the T-Virus outbreak caused by Umbrella Corporation.

The experience continues in Zone 2: Mission, where visitors enter the Raccoon City Police Department to complete interactive puzzles before making their way into Zone 3: Infection. Here, guests venture into a quarantined section of the city filled with infected residents and recognizable characters, including Ada Wong.

In Zone 4: Combat, fans will come face-to-face with some of the franchise’s best-known heroes, including Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, and Leon S. Kennedy, as they battle zombies and familiar villains. Following the action, guests will have opportunities to meet the characters and capture photos before moving into Zone 5: Escape, where the story reaches its final mission.

Those who complete the experience will arrive at Zone 6: Aftermath, which recreates Umbrella Corporation as a themed dining space featuring limited-time food and cocktails inspired by the T-Virus and its mutations. Guests should also keep an eye out for surprise character encounters as they explore the area.

The Resident Evil experience is included with General Admission to Universal Horror Unleashed, offering fans another way to step inside one of gaming’s most recognizable horror franchises during the venue’s summer event. The limited engagement runs through August 30, 2026, giving visitors several weeks to put their survival instincts to the test in Las Vegas.
