The specifics of how the two split up are never explained in the films themselves.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circleprovides some much-needed clarification on how this happened, forty years afterThe Temple of Doomestablished Indy and Marion’s split as canon. In the opening scene of the game, Indy discovers a new journal that Marion gave him as a gift.

This leads his mentor, Marcus Brody, to ask him where the gift came from. Although Indy is evasive at first, it is later revealed that he abruptly left Marion to travel to Siwa, Egypt, in an attempt to escape some of the issues that have arisen in their relationship.

It is also revealed in the game’s opening sequence that Marion has been attempting to contact Indy for months after he left her. Marion’s calls eventually stopped, and Brody was the one taking them while he was in Egypt. All of that is to say that Indy started their breakup by effectively ignoring her until she gave up.

Regarding his motivations, the fourthIndiana Jonesmovie provides some hints. Indy implies that they fought frequently and that he was uneasy around Marion when he tells her inKingdom of the Crystal Skullthat he has never prevailed in an argument with her. Not only does it break the silence about the spilt-up, but thegame also breaks a rule for a typical RPG title.

Although Lucasfilm has been ambivalent about whetherIndiana Jones and the Great Circleis truly“canon”to the Indy timeline, the fact that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg contributed to the game’s development lends it a higher degree of realism.
