It's like asking two big fast food franchises that serve the same consumer base to make a collab.
You do know Microsoft owns Mojang and by extension Minecraft yet allows it to be sold for the PS4 and Switch right? A company will absolutely double down on it if it makes money.

Games like Project x Zone 1&2 also feature collabs with Capcom/Namco/Sega and even Nintendo. They do it as a joint venture so that everyone gets a profit, but also to help deal with each other's licenses.

Hell even outside games, movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit featured both Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse on the same screen, and only agreed to it if they both shared the same amount of screen time.

The possibility is never not out there, it's just both companies need to come to an agreement. Which in most cases is all about the $$$.

If Yoshi-P and Blizzard are being buddy buddy I'd expect something like it, especially considering the MHW collab only happened because Yoshi went out drinking with the MH prodcuer.
