Epic Universe was originally going to open in 2023, but construction was delayed in 2020 due to the pandemic. The new opening date was slated for sometime in 2025, but now we have more details about the opening timeline.

Journalist Ashley Carter reported that Universal’s Epic Universe will open “certainly in time for summer 2025.” This information was released during the quarterly Comcast investors call.
