The sky is calling once again, and it’s bringing music, magic, and a message of unity with it. From June 9 to June 22, 2025, players of Sky: Children of the Light will be swept into an unforgettable in-game event: AURORA: Homecoming. This breathtaking virtual concert marks the return of acclaimed Norwegian artist AURORA to Sky for a limited-time interactive performance unlike anything else in gaming.
🌌 AURORA’s Homecoming: Music, Light, and Unity
Set in the stunning Coliseum nestled high in the clouds, AURORA: Homecoming isn’t just a musical showcase—it’s a living, shared experience. Designed in collaboration with the award-winning artist herself, the event transforms Sky: Children of the Light into a musical odyssey where thousands of players gather in real-time, dancing, flying, and celebrating the power of light and connection.
Originally debuting in 2023, the first AURORA concert made headlines for hosting over 10,000 simultaneous players, earning a Guinness World Record for the largest concert-themed virtual event. Now, the magic returns—bigger, more beautiful, and more accessible than ever, especially with PC players on Steam joining the festivities for the first time.
“We wanted to make something that people don’t just watch, but something they truly feel,” said a spokesperson from thatgamecompany. “And with AURORA, that feeling becomes unforgettable.”
