Neverwinter: Lost City of Omu Console Patch Notes

The “Lost City of Omu” content update for Perfect World and Cryptic Studios’ action-packed MMO Neverwinter should be going live today on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The update will continue the Chultan adventures of the Tomb of Annihilation expansion that introduced the nefarious Death Curse and sent you on a danger-filled journey to break it. You can check out the PC version of the official launch trailer right here.

The console patch notes are quite extensive and, among other things, offer a detailed overview of the update’s new features and their respective developer blogs. You can find all those blog posts gathered here. And here’s an excerpt from the actual patch notes:
