Yes, it may be relevant to note that the merchandise produced for C83 uses the anime artstyle, so there's no reason to expect that to change at all. They also announced that the (old) anime would be shown at the event in April, so I'm sure they have the rights issues worked out at this point. (But that's probably why it took so long before they could make this announcement.)
So I don't think the novel announcement has any impact on the anime, beyond the fact that this should make it possible to produce a second season if they want (and I think many of us are expecting that is what this is leading to).
