If you were hoping for Doug Cockle, the voice behind Geralt of Rivia, to have a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077, you're in for disappointment.

Speaking to Eurogamer, Cockle confirmed that he hasn't been asked back by Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt to work on the new futuristic RPG. "Sadly, I haven't had any involvement with Cyberpunk thus far," the actor said. "It was mentioned long ago but [CDPR] hasn't brought me in for anything. I'm kinda sad about it actually!"

So it seems as though we unfortunately won't be hearing the tones of Geralt of Rivia in Cyberpunk 2077 when it launches next week. However, this doesn't discount Witcher 3 actor Jo Wyatt from potentially returning as Ciri in CD Projekt's new game.
