Does a stance like this have any application in real life?

So, while playing game called Mirror's Edge Catalyst I came across guys called Sentinels, and they are an elite type of enemies in this game. They rely on hand-to-hand to beat the player. Most of their techniques (if not all) are from real life, like the superman punch. But they have a stance that I have never seen before. Does anyone know what is it called, and what is good for? (providing that something like this even exists in real life)

This looks like a general point sparring stance like you might find in Tae Kwan Do, often called Kyorumsae.
Kyorumsae means "standard fighting stance." This is called the front fighting stance. Posiiton your feet at one and a half to two times your regular stride. Turn your body approximately 45 degrees to the side.
I am not a TKD expert, but I belief the idea behind it is that the front hand can be used to deflect incoming attacks while the rear hand is ready for a quick counter-attack. Due to the nature of point-sparring, the emphasis is on a small profile presented to your opponent, thus the very sideways stance.
This post elaborates on the low hand in the front:
The reason for the low hands stance is simply in the WTF sparring format. There are no punches to the face, and 95% of all kicks go to the body. With your hands high, it's possible to slip round kicks under the elbow and score points. If your hands are hanging by the side, they block the whole trunk.
Additionally, TKD fighters tend to drop the hands when they are out of range (and TKD is a long-range game, so most of the time, you are out of range, until one of you makes a move), and raise them when they enter kicking range. Watch top TKD matches and you'll see this. This is for conserving energy, but also for inviting juicy head kicks which are easily countered. N00bs often leave their hands down all the time because they are lazy.
As a point-sparring stance, it probably would not make sense in a self-defense context like this one, but it looks kind of cool.

+1 In TKD sparring it is common to see the front arm in a low guard. You don't need a high guard because you are at kicking distance, not punching distance, and the position is efficient to block incoming kick to the mid section.

It could, maybe, be a Jeet Kwon Do posture. However, the back hand being behind instead of in front of the face kinda does not fit -- especially as seen here. Here is a example of how it looks. You Mirror Edge guy (?) is using a left stance.

Could be. Not sure tho, cause from some of their moves it looks like developers decided to make them some kind of muay thai fighters. Here is a video I found on internet: youtube.com/watch?v=BGgCHQZ_RTE Also Tony Jaa uses stance similiar to theirs in some of his movies. But what could be purpose of that lower hand, and the other so far from face?

The stance particularly reminds me of Bruce Lee in Game of Death (and in stylistic imitations of him such as the Law characters in Tekken with many of the promotional images showing him with just such a down-turned arm in the front, ready to deflect.
