It’s been an exhaustingly long wait for developer CD Projekt Red’s newest game Cyberpunk 2077, but there’s now only a few days standing between fans and getting their hands on perhaps the most anticipated open world game of all time. Unfortunately for those who may have expected some fan service, the main character of the dev’s most well-known property won’t be making a cameo.
If you’ve owned a console or gaming PC in the last few years, you’ve undoubtedly heard of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. While previous games in CD Projekt Red’s series – which are all based on the novels of Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski – were well-received, this third game elevated the franchise to new heights and made it into a world renowned experience, largely thanks to its beautiful open world, compelling storytelling, and beloved main character Geralt of Rivia.
With the series becoming a worldwide phenomenon that has even spawned a hit Netflix show, it seems like a no-brainer that CD Projekt Red would include a cameo of such a famous character as Geralt in their newest game. But the character’s voice actor, Doug Cockle, has shot down those rumors entirely.
When Eurogamer reached out to the actor to inquire about a potential cameo, Cockle responded, saying:
I haven’t had any involvement with Cyberpunk, thus far. It was mentioned long ago, but [CD Projekt Red] hasn’t brought me in for anything. I’m kinda sad about it actually! Oh, well. Maybe in the future…
It sounds like there won’t be a cameo anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t ever happen. Cyberpunk 2077 will undoubtedly receive plenty of post-launch support via paid story DLC, an eventual multiplayer mode, and other smaller free updates throughout its lifespan. We’ll all keep our fingers crossed that we’ll see Geralt show up eventually.
Cyberpunk 2077 launches on December 10th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia. It will also feature some minor updates for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, though neither will receive full-blown next-gen patches until sometime next year.
