If you weren’t already excited about Epic Universe’s upcoming Dark Universe land at Universal Orlando Resort, this new video might just change that. Shared via Universal Orlando’s official social media accounts, the brief teaser gives fans a bat’s-eye view of Darkmoor Village—and it’s absolutely spellbinding.

From the very first frame, the video casts a supernatural spell. The creature flies through the portal, pulsing with eerie light and color. What follows is a magical, drone-like journey above Darkmoor, the gothic village nestled at the heart of the Dark Universe. As the bat cruises past stone walls and crooked chimneys, we get our clearest look yet at the land’s scale and detail, culminating in a final approach toward the mysterious, towering Frankenstein Manor.

Though it’s under a minute long, the teaser packs atmosphere and intrigue into every second. The soundtrack, a chilling yet graceful instrumental piano piece, sets the tone immediately. Its slow, deliberate notes create an ambiance that’s both refined and unsettling, perfectly matching the gothic elegance of Darkmoor.

It feels like something straight out of Dracula’s manor: haunting, aristocratic, and deeply immersive. Combined with the sweeping aerial views, the music transforms the brief clip into an eerie, cinematic invitation into the mysterious heart of Dark Universe.

What Is Dark Universe?

Dark Universe is a love letter to the classic Universal Monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Wolf Man. Anchored by a story-rich environment—Darkmoor Village—it will feature cutting-edge attractions such as Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, a family coaster called Curse of the Werewolf, interactive meet-and-greets, monster makeup experiences, and hauntingly themed dining options.
