Doug Cockle, who voiced Geralt throughout the Witcher trilogy, isn't currently involved with Cyberpunk 2077.

“I’m not currently attached to any triple-A projects,” Cockle said in a recent interview with VG24/7. Cyberpunk 2077 undoubtedly being a blockbuster game, that statement alone would seem to rule out Cockle's involvement, but the voice actor left no room for doubt.
“I’m not [working on Cyberpunk 2077] actually, so I don’t even have to lie about that,” he said. “Whether I will or not is a different question.
“They’ve kind of hinted that they want to get me involved in some way, shape, or form. But what that might be? Who knows, and it may never happen.”
While Cockle may or may not be moving on from CD Projekt Red work, he recently voiced his support for the actor who will replace him as Geralt in the Witcher TV show.
With or without Cockle, CD Projekt Red is moving full steam ahead on Cyberpunk 2077, even attempting to create fully destructible environments.
