* {{Jossed}}: ''Escape Dead Island'' suggests several plot elements from the previous games lead nowhere, from the idea the survivors are resistant rather than immune to there being no cure.

* AscendedFanon: John exists because of the famous "[[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Fist of the Dead Star]]" PC mod for the first game and the YouTube video produced to show it off. In particular, the mod gives, among other things, memetically hilarious (not to mention gamebreaking of the best kind) RapidFireFisticuffs, which John's signature spiked-knuckles can replicate.
* BannedInChina: In certain countries, the logo has been changed with the "I" being a standing zombie instead of a hanging body. The promo for ''Riptide'' was shown on Australian TV and its portrayal of suicide had it pulled, and may have contributed to the game receiving an R rating (the first snuck in at MA.) The resin statue of a mutilated woman with the special edition was also cut for Australia.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally, Techland had proposed and designed a much more realistic "layer" system that had skin, muscle, and bone being independently modeled and deformed in real time. According to them, their testers barely noticed it, so they went with a much less intensive prebaked damage model.

* DuelingGames: With ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'', another 4-player co-op focused first-person zombie shooter. The main difference is that ''Left 4 Dead'' is more fast-paced and arcade-like, focusing on large hordes of fast but weak zombies that deal minor damage individually but can be dangerous in large numbers. ''Dead Island'', in contrast, emphasizes melee combat and a WideOpenSandbox, is slower paced and has RPG elements, and focuses on smaller groups of tougher, more dangerous zombies that can kill you in just a few hits.
