Welcome to Keen Cast, KeenGamer’s official podcast! Join Sean Rehbein, David Lozada, and Tim Ronan as they talk about the week’s hottest news stories and dissect the latest controversy shaking up the video game industry.

Yup, this means we’re talking about that recent Fortnite Chapter 2 leak and those Overwatch 2 reports!

We also discuss the never-ending controversy surrounding Fallout 76 and determine whether or not Bethesda will be able to make a comeback in the near future. Other topics include Joker‘s international success, Five Below’s bizarre efforts to appeal to esports fans, and a surprise showing of Terminator: Dark Fate.
