Nippon Marathon 2: Daijoubu Is Out Now on Steam Early Access

The cult‑favourite party racer is back with new stages and a  friendship-destroying cucumber!

17 April 2026, London, UK — Onion Soup Interactive is delighted to announce that Nippon Marathon 2: Daijoubu is now available on Steam Early Access.
 

Nippon Marathon 2: Daijoubu is everything fans loved about the original — just bigger, better, and even more bizarre. It’s a race across Japan where fruit‑flinging sabotage and unpredictable hazards turn every run into a hilarious physical battle of wills and the sarcastic commentator Sora the Troll returns to call out every glorious mistake.
