I guess Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla ditching most of the major mythos in the modern world to just become historical pieces and Action RPGs with stealth elements instead of pure stealth with combat backup elements just don't count.
Because from everything I can see, this is literally the same exact game as those were in a new setting, so the sentence lies in every single way.
They also claim it's the first game to have a female assassin in ten years, but Odyssey and Valhalla both had canonical female protags and a chick for the modern day stuff. They are just making stuff up
Ubisoft is still seething to this day that the "we tacked on a male MC at the last second because we were forced to" from Odyssey ended up being like 70%+ of the player choice. They bring it up constantly and you can tell it fucks them up.
Ironically that the MC Alexios and antagonist Kassandra work way better because the writing staff were trying so hard to make him a petulant child and her a badass marysue, leading to him being fun to play in regular quests and her a decent villain.

Even Yasuke is more fun to play than Naoe. At least he can bulldoze through doors and eat damage like nobody's business.
That's just basic realism. A giant nog in the land of short nips will absolutely body their paper architecture and noodle arms.
One of the other reasons why a game about stealth and assassin's was the worst place for him.
