No , grand cross will not collab with those titles.
Grand cross will not collab with IPs that belong to Shueisha/shonen jump/weekly young jump/grand jump etc. (Edit because i put a wrong magazine here) and any other magazine they own, 7DS as an IP belongs to Kodansha a RIVAL (they never collab) publisher that published:
7DS
4Knights of the apocalypse
Slime
Attack On Titan
It also has connections to Netflix , therefore it made a deal to Collab with Stranger Things.
Netmarble is a publisher for KOF All stars therefore they have a connection to that IP too , not to mention said IP has little to NOTHING to do with Manga sphere and is a Video game title therefore has no reason to even compete with 7DS and create frictions like the two publishers.
7DS has about 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% chance to NEVER EVER collab with:
Demon slayer
Jujutsu kaisen
one punch man
naruto
boruto
dragon ball
bleach
black clover
jigokuraku
Ruroni kenshi
jojo
fist of the north star
Captain tsubasa
saint seiya
One piece
Blue exorcist
Gokurakugai
Kemono jihen
Owari no seraph
Twin star exorcist
World Trigger
YU-GI-OH
HunterxHunter
My Hero Academia
or any other popular title from that publisher stop acting as if Netmarble is doing this on purpose, and no not every publishing company acts like those two do.
EDIT: to add to that,RE:zero , Mushoku tensei , Slime or any other collab of a title that originates from Light Novels was made to Promote the light novels not really the anime or the manga versions , as both anime and mangas of them are in the first place made first and foremost TO promote the Light Novels, Light novel industry is SUPER HUGE in japan, China , Korea most of the collabs are made with them in mind and like it or not Light Novel collabs are much more likely to happen than Manga or Anime collabs , to put it into persepctive we've only had 1 collab that originated from Manga ever and it was AOT that hasn't returned since.
TLDR: Light novel titles will not care about their manga/anime publishers and will lend out their titles as much as they can to promote the books.
