Hydra is our online services platform that powers online features for games such as Guitar Hero, Saints Row: The Third, Mortal Kombat, Guardians of Middle Earth and the recently launched Injustice: Gods Among Us.

With Hydra, Unity developers have access to our…

We have been in closed beta for a few months now and have over 300 users to thank for their feedback and support! With their help, we have built a system that we’re very proud of, and that we believe will help all developers gain access to the features needed to building a compelling online experience around their games! As we get ready for our public release, we wanted to take this opportunity to further our testing and bring in more users! We need to make sure we got this right :-).
