No. For 12 years (since 1996) softball was part of the Olympics, but 2008 was the last year it was. It has been removed from the olympic games, and will not be a part of the 2012 London games.
Softball is not in the Olympics coming up do to lack of supporters of the sport. It was in the last Olympics but not 2012.
