It depends. The ending is vague enough that it does leave them the option to either do the main story of The Origin or just bolt it onto the original. Case in point, someone highlighted they don't show the Zaku team approaching Side 7. In The Origin it's a much larger force than the 1979 series depicts.Alternate continuities are kind of part of Gundam's DNA. They have been ever since the movie trilogy came out a few years after the show and retconned details which a few years after that Zeta would take as the preferred version of events. There's a perfect overlap example here- in the movies, the Guntank is replaced at Jaburo with a second Guncannon and scenes are kept that highlight it is a secret prototype but also relatively useless. In The Origin, the Guntank is an already know crude Federation mobile suit that was in use at least a decade before the war. That's a massive continuity conflict. To go back to the earlier scene, in The Origin Guntanks were common enough that the Zaku squad discover the Gundams have been using them as target practice.Depending on how literally we take that mistakenly leaked future projects sheet from the Gundam Narrative announcement livestream, it would seem that indeed no more animated Origin is on the cards. But that same leak highlighted a Western aimed UC project (be it Universal Century or Unicorn) planned within the next few years. So anything could happen.
