Doug Cockle, voice of The Witcher Geralt, doesn't have a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077

Picture it: you're in a neon-lit bar in Cyberpunk 2077, ordering a retro-future drink, when the barman says something t…

It seemed like a cameo opportunity too good to miss. Even Doug Cockle, the English voice of Geralt in The Witcher games, was up for it. "Absolutely!" he told me when we met a few years ago, and I wrote a piece about him.

"I have joked with [CD Projekt Red] about bringing me in as an Easter egg. I've jokingly said, 'You've gotta bring me in as a bartender the player has to interact with for at least one quest. A bartender named Gerry who has some waiting staff, Trisha or Jenny or something like that.'"

Alas, as I found out today, it never panned out. I checked in with Cockle, ahead of Cyberpunk's 10th December release, and he told me he never got the call from CD Projekt Red.

"Sadly, I haven't had any involvement with Cyberpunk thus far," he said. "It was mentioned long ago but [CDPR] hasn't brought me in for anything. I'm kinda sad about it actually!

"Oh well," he added. "Maybe in the future..."

Cockle

 

[Rheon]

Not a big deal.

Who cares

We have wooden keanu to fill the void of personality.......

 

[deriks]

That's ok

I love his voice, but that's ok

 

[Trunim]

That's sad! I hope they bring him in for the DLC.

 

[Mhmmm 2077]

Why should he though? In polish version of Cyberpunk Geralt's voice actor doesn't have a cameo too... although Johnny Silverhand is being voiced by another witcher - the 2002 polish TV series one.

 

[kraspkibble]

and so what?

he has nothing to do with Cyberpunk.

 

[Cockles & Whelks]

Cockle

What a guy.

 

[OnThePathToWisdom]

E-celebs are more important apparently, and Keanu Reeves.

 

[Astorian]

Seems fine, I don’t think there will be a drama out of this.

 

[The Cockatrice]

This

Spoiler

was more important than this

Spoiler

what a bunch of idiots.

 

[ZippyTheOtter]

Talk about trying to make drama out of nothing

 

[Great Hair]

Instead we get Analah Pierce, Keyanus Reef and all the other superstars aka Influencers!

 

[johncaveman12]

Uh.... ok.

 

[Captain Toad]

I don't have a cameo either. Where's my article?

 

[Rikkori]

CDPR getting too big for their breeches. How you not gonna give your iconic VA from the previous series any work but you'll put every influencer cunt and dick and give them cameos? Pathetic.
