Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights 2025 just got a major boost from the Wasteland—Fallout is officially coming as one of this year’s featured haunted houses. This marks the first time Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic franchise is being adapted for the event, and fans are already buzzing about what horrors lie beneath the surface.

Even more exciting: this haunted house will follow Lucy’s journey from the Fallout TV series, bringing the show's unforgettable characters and tense storytelling into real life for the first time.

Welcome to the Wasteland

Set in a world ravaged by nuclear war, Fallout’s desolate landscapes, twisted creatures, and eerie vaults provide the perfect backdrop for Halloween Horror Nights. While past houses have explored creepy asylums, zombie apocalypses, and supernatural nightmares, Fallout brings something uniquely dystopian—the kind of terror that blends retro-futurism with radioactive fear.

This haunted house will take guests inside the world of the Fallout TV series, following Lucy’s journey as she leaves the safety of Vault 33 and ventures into the brutal Wasteland. Expect to walk through key locations from the show, including:

• Vault 33, where Lucy’s story begins—and where all is not as it seems
• The irradiated ruins of Los Angeles, crawling with hostile survivors and mutated horrors
• The Ghoul’s eerie hideouts, bringing Walton Goggins’ menacing character to life
• Twisted outposts run by factions like the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave
• Scenes echoing the show’s dark humor and grim discoveries, with Vault-Tec’s sinister legacy looming throughout

Through immersive sets, haunting audio, and terrifying encounters, guests will experience the chaos and beauty of the Fallout universe—from Lucy’s hopeful curiosity to the unforgiving reality of life above ground.

What We Know So Far

While Universal hasn’t revealed every detail, the official announcement confirms the experience will follow Lucy’s perspective from the critically acclaimed Fallout TV show on Amazon. That means fans can expect scenes and elements pulled directly from her journey—possibly including moments in Vault 33, encounters with The Ghoul, and key settings from her time in the Wasteland.

Visually, the house is expected to lean heavily into the games’ most iconic imagery while blending in crossover elements from the show—think flickering Pip-Boy lights, rusty corridors, and unsettling Vault Boy smiles staring at you in the dark.

Wasteland Treats and Themed Drinks

Halloween Horror Nights is known not just for its scares, but also for its limited-time themed food and beverages—and Fallout will be no exception. While exact menus haven't been revealed yet, expect the park to serve up treats inspired by the Wasteland, such as:

• Nuka-Cola-inspired drinks, possibly glowing or served in retro bottles.
• Irradiated snacks with neon-green frosting or otherworldly colors.
• Vault rations packaged like MREs or served in tin trays.
• Sweet and savory bites themed after in-game items like Fancy Lads Snack Cakes or BlamCo Mac & Cheese.

Jones Soda has previously partnered with Bethesda to create officially licensed Nuka-Cola-themed flavors, including limited-edition bottles inspired by Fallout 4. These collectible sodas captured the iconic retro-futuristic style and quickly became fan favorites.

These exclusive items add an extra layer of immersion and are often only available for a limited time during the event—making them a must-try for fans and foodies alike.
