On November 3, 2011, Techland registered the name 'Dead World'. When questioned about this by IGN Gaming, they denied a sequel, but they also denied denying a sequel.
The game's zombies were rendered to have fully modelled layers of meat and muscle, meaning they have a multi-layered damage system with real-time injuries.
Banoi Island is a real place. The island of Banoi is located just off the coast of Papua New Guinea, located south of the Equator and just north of Australia.
The game itself has been in development since at least 2005 when it was under the name of Island of Living Dead.
A comic book version of the series was released by Marvel Comics, and begins with Roger Howard, an investigative journalist, as he looks into the illegal exploitation of Banoi Island's resources. He appeared in the game as a voice, leaving behind tape recordings.
