Eric Fong, the Associate Producer of Folklore, writes on the PlayStation.Blog:

"Greetings Folklore Fans! Today we're announcing the final installment of download packs. I want to thank each and every one of you for your kind words and support on the blog - it definitely makes it all worth while. I know there are a few unanswered questions (like the Folklore soundtrack) that I'm not at liberty to discuss at present. Hopefully, those of you that were interested will keep an eye on the Blog for satisfactory answers and will continue to post similarly good questions - we'll continue to do our best to provide accurate and timely answers. In the meantime, I hope you will purchase, download, and enjoy packs 5 and 6 as much as we do."

Producer Eric Fong on the US Playstation blog writes:

"First, I would like to thank you for helping make our little game a big success. Without your support, deep and innovative games like Folklore would never be made, and quite frankly, I would be out of a job.

So, you've played through Folklore, been to Hell Realm and back, and you want MORE??? Well, you're in luck! Starting this month, and only on the PLAYSTATION Network, you'll be able to purchase new downloadable add-on packs ¿ each to include a new costume for either Ellen OR Keats, a completely new Folk, and 4 additional quests that extend the Folklore story.

Check out the packs you can look forward to and be on the lookout for more Folklore "surprises" around the corner. Thanks again for your support!"
