Ever fancied designing game characters yourself? Sony would like to give one of you a chance to do just that and design a character for upcoming supernatural thriller Folklore. Full competition details can be found on eu.playstation.com but suffice to say for now that the winning character will be made available as a Playstation store download. The competition's judging panel will include Yoshiki Okamoto, executive producer on Resident Evil, Devil May Cry and Genji and closes on October 22nd.

If you’re an imaginative gamer with a taste for the otherworldly then Folklore on PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3TM) is for you. The skilfully-woven tapestry of colourful landscapes and characters, gripping supernatural storyline and intuitive, motion-sensitive gameplay takes place in the mysterious Netherworld – a supernatural realm populated by Folks whose powers must be captured and harnessed in order to survive. There are over 100 Folk, each with their own unique personalities and individual style of combat – and now we want gamers to provide one more.

That’s right – we’re looking for one more Folk to inhabit the Netherworld, and we’re running an online competition to find the budding artist who can design the character. If you can conceive of a supernatural creature worthy of sitting alongside the gelatinous Agar Agar, the spike-furred Bugaboo, the boulder-bodied Spriggan or the cavern-mouthed Fomoire, we want you to send us your design.
