No, thank God. It's an original title from Suda51 & Co. (the team behind Killer7) that puts you in the shoes of an assassin fighitng to become the number one killer. Nothing is really known about gameplay yet, though swordplay and gunfighting seems to be involved, and the game appears to be running on an enhanced version of the Killer7 engine (or at least, an engine very like it) with some very snazzy visuals. Search the web for it & you'll turn up the trailer that was released recently.
There's a little more:
- The protagonist, Travis, is the 11th-best hitman, and plans to kill the 10 killers above him. He doesn't even know who they are, though.
- There's only one weapon, the Beam Katana.
- It's 3rd Person, not on rails.
- Seems to be more or less a sandbox game.
- There is a main storyline as well as several sidequests.
