Eruption

**V2 Chronicles: Eruption** is an arena fighter game developed by Pluton, Emperor V2's personal video game development studio. It was released for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, Steam, Nintendo Switch, Wii, Wii U, and, notably, the Playstation 2, Saturn, Gamecube, and Dreamcast as well - the older systems' copies are more expensive, but come with all of the downloadable content (DLC) pre-installed.

The story focuses on a (dubiously canonical) conflict between the Vincent Five and the Dark Horses, a small group of exceptionally strong fighters led by the bombastic overlord and con-man Alastor. Alastor becomes the host and creator of the Eruption Junction, a high-stakes fighting tournament with none other than the Chaos Emeralds as the ultimate prizes. Secretly, however, the Junction is a trap intended to kill the Vincent Five and test V2's fighting prowess.

It was released for all systems on April 25, 2020, across the world. Eruption also came with several pieces of DLC - the first three DLC files were three new characters, completely free of charge as a "thank you" for buying the game. The second DLC, the Arcadia Pack, has six new characters and several new stages and accessories taken from Part II - Akasha. The third and final DLC, the Disciples Pack, comes with every member of The Disciples and a number of brand-new stages and accessories as well.

Both DLC packs were priced at $10 each, but they come pre-installed on the (more expensive) PS2, Gamecube, Saturn, and Dreamcast versions of the game. These versions of the game come with the free DLC characters as well (notably, on the Dreamcast version, you have to download the free DLC characters through the VMU or through Homebrew.
