"Next to zero chance" is being optimistic. The original plan was to have
2 GURPS books for each of the 5 original World of Darkness settings
(Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Wraith, Changeling). The contract was broken after
only 4 books were produced due to irreconcilable differences between the two
companies. I doubt either would ever consider working together on any
project of this type ever again.

Steve Jackson did decide to post an open letter on Usenet regarding the
breakup:
