My logic is that after Assassin's Creed 1 was percieved to have to much dialogue and exposition Ubisoft decided to tone down the depth and turn the franchise into a more Hollywood Blockbuster type of deal; the later games all feature their own take on car chases, shoot outs, over the top stunts, etc. and don't focus as much on the core concepts and realism as they used to in ther gameplay but more on videogame abstractions to create action orientated set pieces.

Following that train of thought I expect the ending to be on par with the rest of the Hollywood-esque writing we've been getting since the 2nd game; Desmond will assassinate some head templar (possibly Rikkin) and then sacrifice himself to stop the satelite launch (or the sun). This will give the Impression that the Templar/Assassin war is over (and the writers will claim it is) even though only one head dude was killed and you can't solve complex soci-political and militant conflicts in one deed (also see: Halo 3) Thus Ubi will think they gave us the climactic showdown ending they promised, while actually resolving about one billionth of the real complexity the franchise has the potential to offer.

That or like, he'll turn into a goat or something, I dont know.
