Universal Epic Universe is a new theme park currently under construction in Orlando, Florida, set to open on May 22, 2025. It will be the fourth park at Universal Orlando Resort. The park will be part of a 750-acre development. It will feature five themed areas: Celestial Park, Dark Universe, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, Super Nintendo World, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic.

NBCUniversal announced the park on August 1, 2019, with then-Chairman and CEO Tom Williams calling it the "most immersive and innovative theme park" the company had ever created. The park is expected to create 14,000 new jobs, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis providing positive feedback. The announcement included concept art, but many details were left intentionally vague, with rumors circulating about potential IPs like How to Train Your Dragon, Fantastic Beasts, Universal Classic Monsters, and Nintendo franchises such as Super Mario and Donkey Kong. In January 2020, Comcast executives confirmed that Super Nintendo World would be part of the park. Its inclusion was officially confirmed in February 2023, with Universal CEO Mark Woodbury calling it the "worst-kept secret in history."

The park’s opening was initially scheduled for 2023 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Construction resumed in March 2021, and in 2022, it was confirmed the park would open by Summer 2025. In May 2022, Universal offered 13 acres of land near the park for a Brightline rail commuter station.

In March 2023, Universal Parks & Resorts rebranded to Universal Destinations & Experiences, and the park's name was changed from "Universal's Epic Universe" to "Universal Epic Universe." The new logo dropped the apostrophe and "s." In January 2024, Universal unveiled the official layout of the park, including Celestial Park.

Minor damage occurred in October 2024 due to Hurricane Milton, particularly in the Dark Universe section. On October 17, 2024, Universal confirmed the park's opening date of May 22, 2025, four days before Memorial Day and 16 days before Universal Orlando's 35th anniversary. Tickets and reservations for the Helios Grand Hotel became available on October 22, 2024, with passholder tickets on sale on October 24. Previews began on March 1, 2025.

The park will feature a hub-and-spoke layout, with Celestial Park at the center and four themed lands branching off from it. These lands will be, in clockwise order from the entrance: Super Nintendo World, Dark Universe (featuring Universal's Classic Monsters), The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic, and How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk.

The park is currently scheduled to open on May 22, 2025.
