The timelines could be in flux, and versions of the characters from alternate timelines could be ending up in what I'm calling the RMK (Rebooted Mortal Kombat) timeline which 9 and X take place in. This could explain many of the things going on; why there are older versions of characters that died when they never aged as revenants, why Shinnok knows of his clone, and the Chaosrealm Raiden.

(Of course, it could just be that these are developer choices, but this idea was too much of a fit-in that I could not resist sharing.) Are you serious? I rather like the idea of there being a ripple in time. That could explain Kitana's arcade ending. 1. There are no versions of characters other than the revenants because Liu Kang, Kitana, and Kung Lao are all still undead. Their human skins aren't canon. At all.

2. Intros like that are not canon.

3. Arcade endings are almost always non-canon and if they are canon, they're only semi. Again, it's called a hypothesis for a reason. An educated guess. I'm aware that it's likely just a developer's choice, and nothing more, but like I said, I couldn't help but speculate.
