Cyberon was an anthology published by Arcbeatle Press on 2020. As well as an expanded novelisation of the 2001 BBV drama Cyberon, the anthology also contained three short stories featuring the titular Cyberons.
Although Cyberon contained no elements from the Doctor Who universe upon its original release, it was notable for introducing the characters of Lauren Anderson and Ray Lambert, who went on to feature in Zygon: When Being You Just Isn't Enough. In this book, the Preternatural Research Bureau investigated the aftermath of the original narrative, with the release acting as a companion to the revival of the P.R.O.B.E. franchise, also published by Arcbeatle Press.[1] The Cyberons themselves had previously been reintroduced by way of a mention in A Bright White Crack, an instalment of Cwej: The Series.
Some weeks before the release of the anthology, Arcbeatle Press released the animated webcast WC: Cyberon is Back!!, described as "an overture to the upgraded horror to come".
