Nihilistic Software is a video game developer based in Novato, California.

Nihilistic was founded in March 1998 by Ray Gresko, Robert Huebner, and Steve Tietze. Gresko and Huebner had formerly worked at LucasArts, and Tietze had worked at Rogue Entertainment. Many of Nihilistic's employees were drawn from LucasArts, working on games such as [[Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II|Jedi Knight]].

The first game produced by Nihilistic was [[Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption]], set in the a role-playing world created by White Wolf. Later, Nihilistic began to develop [[StarCraft: Ghost]], supervised by StarCraft creator Blizzard Entertainment. In mid-2004, Nihilistic ceased working on StarCraft: Ghost, although the circumstances behind this are not entirely clear. The project was taken up by Swingin' Ape Studios, which was later bought by Blizzard. Nihilistic recently finished development on [[Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects]], a fighting game based on Marvel Comics' various superheroes. Nihilistic is currently working on an unannounced next-gen title.
