Codenames: Blizzard's New Project Called Hydra

via Kotaku by Luke Plunkett on 9/11/07

While at the Austin GDC last week, The Inquirer was stalking some Blizzard employees and overheard the following:

Blizzard Employee 1: What are you working on?
Blizzard Employee 2: Starcraft II, and you?
Blizzard Employee 1: I am working on Hydra.
Doubt Hydra is the actual name. Which makes it a working name. So...a hydra is a sea creature with many heads. Diablo 3, then? Why not. It'd be a Norse god if it was another Lost Vikings.
