I don't think they would do an alternate storyline because it feels like a lot of extra work for an anime-based game. I figure the original stories will probably be fluff pieces that can easily fit into existing canon and may or may not involve combat (and if they do, it'll probably be a simple side mission or two), because that would be the easiest way to do new content that Isayama will approve.

Doing an RBA alterate storyline to rescue Annie would be a very involved undertaking for the developer (probably multiple missions, a lot of unique art and level design) and that's time and effort not being spent on unique content for other characters, because I'm pretty sure the rest of the cast isn't going to have something that complicated. Even if Isayama was okay with the general idea, he probably would want to heavily supervise the story and dialogue (and who knows if he has time for that). I think there are too many hoops to go through to make this happen.

But who knows? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  The game's not out yet.
