2021
The agency first established itself on August 1, 2021. One of their most notable talents, Serafina 塞拉菲娜, began streaming "pre-debut" with her 1.0 on December 17, 2021.

AuroraLiveVR continued to host online public auditions for models they would release one by one into the Chinese VTuber market on Bilibili throughout 2021.

2022
AuroraLiveVR opened auditions for the 1st Wave of Kaleidosekai talents on May 10, 2022 with the model "Twin Flower." The audition was announced only in their Discord Server. The model was a half succubus half TaoTie 饕餮 demon model designed to be the twin younger sister of their Chinese talent Hachiki Hakaba 八桦蜂吻. The model was named Cayena Hakaba 八桦卡夜娜 and she debuted on July 20, 2022 on Twitch.

Serafina "officially debuted" on July 27, 2022 with her 2.0 model upgrade and over 50,000 followers on Bilibili.

AuroraLiveVR opened auditions again for another member of Kaleidosekai on October 10, 2022. The model was drawn by IchigoUsagiVR's artist apprentice PChan and rigged by 狐茶shiroi. The model was named Pews Ume and she debuted on January 19 2023.

Serafina released a cover of Golden Hour by JVKE to Bilibili on November 22, 2022. She uploaded a teaser of the cover to her Twitter on November 23, 2022, where she had just begun being active on since October 2022. The video went viral, garnering over 350,000 views, over 10,000 retweets, and over 35,000 likes. Serafina then uploaded the full cover to her Youtube where it gained her over 50,000 subscribers and 1,000,000 views. This brought a lot of exposure to AuroraLiveVR in the EN scene.

2023
AuroraLiveVR released their Global MV for Inf:Rhapsody talents on August 15, 2023, marking a new start for the EN Branch.

CN Branch 🌌
The CN Branch was the first Branch to be established by 极光社 in 2021. The first models were drawn by IchigoUsagiVR, and some models even had 3rd party artists not from AuroraLiveVR's artist team, but this practice has since been halted. All models are required to come from AuroraLiveVR's own artist team as of today. There are over 100 talents in the CN Branch, and not all of them have 极光社 in their bio as tagging in profiles is not possible on Bilibili. Some of the most notable ones are listed here. More information on these notable talents can be found in their Discord Server.

Inf:Rhapsody
The disappearance of the auroras caused upheaval in the world, with massive shifts in the magnetic field and the rise of malevolent creatures. Demons and humans fiercely contested resources, plunging the world into wars. In this post-apocalyptic wasteland, a new order emerged: demons, humans, and neutrals vying for control. Simultaneously, numerous scientists toiled day and night, seeking to unravel the true cause behind the vanishing auroras. In this chaotic new world, each individual struggled to find a balance between their inner selves and survival. The question remained: if the auroras were to be reclaimed one day, would the world return to its "normal" state as desired? Only time and fate held the answers to this enigmatic conundrum.
