Why is Liu Kang so old in MKX?

Liu Kang appears old in Mortal Kombat X (MKX) because the older look in the character select screen is a non-canon, "what if" version showing how he would've aged naturally, contrasting with his young revenant form serving Quan Chi in the story. NetherRealm Studios included these aged human designs as fan service for players who missed the classic look, even though he's undead and technically wouldn't age in his main timeline role as a revenant alongside Kitana and Kung Lao.
