Will topic based searches work after freebase is deprecated

Freebase will be deprecated starting Tuesday, March 31st, what does this mean for topic based searches with the youtube api? Will these queries still work?

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&relevanceLanguage=en&topicId=%2Fm%2F04qf57&type=video&videoSyndicated=true&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

I think this will be unaffected since Google Knowledge Graph API, which is the replacement of Freebase, is able to search by topicId too.

Do not quote me on this one though as there's really no documented change notes on the Youtube Data API

Also, some SO posts that contains discussions regarding the possible impact and alternatives(as of the moment) to the use of Youtube Data API and topicIds can be found here and here
