Cliff Bleszinski, best known for his work on Gears of War and Unreal Tournament, announced the game last summer. The game will be a free-to-player sci-fi arena shooter taking place in Los Angeles. Outside of a brief teaser shown earlier this year and those few details, however, we don't know much about the game.
BlueStreak has been a code name for the game since announcement and the recently launched countdown site references The Shattering, which may be the game's final, official name. You can check out the site here and register for an account.
Update: Cliff Bleszinski has confirmed on twitter that the game's title is not The Shattering. It's unclear exactly what The Shattering is in reference to regarding Project BlueStreak.
Thanks Austin Suther for the news tip!

Our Take
I don't know how excited I can get about a free-to-play arena sci-fi shooter, but I am certainly curious to learn more about the game. Bleszinski knows how to craft a shooter, so expectations are high.
