The 2.7 certainly has some new parts, especially the block, but there isn't much if any information out there at all to say it is part of a new engine family. Contrast that to the 5.0 being heavily promoted as a new(ish) engine. In fact, there isn't much information at all about its lineage except it has a composite oil pan, Coyote-esque piston oil squirters, and a CGI block.
If you have some information that the 2.7 is part of a new engine family, please provide it and it would be much appreciated.

"CGI cylinder block in aluminum structure
The 2.7-L is based on an all-new V6 architecture; it's not part of the 3.5-L family. "
Also read at the end the mention of a half billion dollar investment at the Lima engine plant to tool it up.

Seems Ford is treating the coyote very well. The 2018 f150 and mustang gets port and direct injection. The mustang also gets a bump in compression to 12.1 for increased power. Hopefully the f150 gets a bump as well. The v-8 doomsdayers were wrong again because the 5.0 will be around thru 2018 for sure.
