No Dual Hidden Blade?

I've read that Arno won't have dual hidden blades, and I kinda like that they're changing it up, because I always like my assassins creeds to be varied and updated, but I'm just curious how you will be able to do dual stealth assassinations.
Possibly you won't even get to do dual stealth assassinations, which would make the game harder i suppose, but when you do things like that in stealth, it just makes you have to wait longer, and waiting really isn't harder, just more infuriating, which i think too many stealth games have a problem with. They think that making you wait and making you upset makes the game harder when it simply doesn't. To make a stealth game harder, you have to make the player want to force themselves to be quicker and cleaner, not slower and patient.
OR possibly there is a new animation for dual stealth takedowns where you take out two people with only one blade.

also will Arno have back up blades, since he shoots his blade for silent ranged kills? or will you only have the one blade that you have to retrieve? and will you not be able to do silent assassinations if you don't have your blade? i suppose you could always to an unarmed takedown but those also take much longer and you can only do those one at a time

Dual take downs are still in the game.

The Phantom blade is a different weapon to the hidden blade and has ammunition like the crossbow and other guns. Think of it as a wrist crossbow like daud's in Dishorned if you've ever played that.

If they took away dual take downs it would be a step back for Assassin's Creed.

so in theory if you're out of ammo, you can't do stealth assassinations? and you would have to instead to the unarmed stealth takedowns?

No, the blade's crossbow mechanism is separate from the primary blade used for assassinations., so you can use all of your Phantom Blade's ammo and still perform stealth and air assassinations, etc.

From what I'm seen from gameplay footage, you can still do dual stealth assassinations but it's a bit different. Instead of stabbing both enemies with 2 blades, you stab one with your blade and snap the other's neck lol Pretty brutal honestly, but kinda cool.

Also, there is another gameplay video which showcased co-op gameplay, and he dual assassinated 2 targets in high profile, so he kind of grabbed the guy on his right in an elbow lock, stabbed the guy on the left, and spun around and slit the other guy's throat on the right.
